Very few pastors of any sort can effectively grow churches past this point.
There are some notable exceptions, even in the Apostolic ranks.

I have no doubt that this pastoral team can handle more. The Bishop (retired pastor) is a smart man of good reputation. I don't know much about his successor, the Senior pastor of the last couple of years other than he has been in that church for a lot of his life and was on the pastor staff for several years before assuming the role of Senior Pastor.
It just seems strange to me. I would understand it if they seemed incompetent or unorganized but they do not.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
