Jerry Falwell's Secret to Church Growth:
Listening to NPR this morning I heard Falwell explain how his church went from a few dozen members in a storefront to 22,000 members. He stated that it was God first, but secondly he said he began using radio, then television. It didn't seem to affect Falwell's strong independent Baptist convictions about morality and conservative Biblical interpretation. Amazingly enough, television use did not send them down the proverbial "slippery slope" nor did it pave the way for ordination of homosexuals.
Here is a quote verbatum from the report (I typed it as it was being said):
"A pastor has to be media savvy in order to reach people" - Jerry Falwell
