Church growth funds resource dependence in a religious nonprofit organization.
Cafferky, Michael E.

Church growth funds resource dependence in a religious nonprofit organization. - 128 p.

Adviser: Ken Armstrong.

Thesis (D.B.A.)--Anderson University, 2008.

The hypothesis that a specific strategy-relevant financial resource would have a positive correlation with organizational performance was tested with local congregations (N=147) of a religious nonprofit organization. The disbursement of special-use funds from the regional headquarters ear-marked for a narrowly focused set of church growth activities was the independent variable tested in a partial regression analysis against the organizational performance measured by baptisms and by donations to tithe and world missions. Four control variables were included in the empirical model: congregation size (number of members), the presence of a full-time pastor, the presence of a Bible worker, and the use of a visiting evangelist when conducting harvest-style public evangelism programs. There was no statistically significant correlation between the dollar amount of funds requested and annual funds donated for tithe and missions. There was no statistically significant correlation between the dollar amount of funds received and annual funds donated for tithe and missions. Likewise there was no statistically significant correlation between the dollar amount of funds requested and the annual number of baptisms. For 2005 there was a statistically significant correlation between the dollar amount of funds received and the annual number of baptisms (r2=.09; p=.000). The same was not true for 2004 data (r2=.019; p=.019). There was no statistically significant mean difference among congregations receiving the full amount of funds requested and congregations that receive less than the full amount requested and annual funds donated for tithe and missions. In 2005 there was a statistically significant difference between the group of congregations that received less than they requested and the group of congregations that received equal to or greater than they requested. This was not true for 2004 data.
