A church that is growing and written up in a book called [*Comeback Churches*](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0805445366/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com) is likely to be asked, “What’s the secret?”

Here’s [how one church answered](http://jdgreear.typepad.com/my%5Fweblog/2007/06/what%5Fwe%5Fhave%5Fis.html?ref=dashhouse.com):

> Its hard to point to our wisdom and virtue that built the church. We have walked through some doors simply because all the others ones were closed; we have made mistakes that turned out to be strokes of genius…

> We do not hope people will copy our strategies. Just because one strategy works one place doesn’t mean it will work somewhere else. Our hope is not in the brilliantly-conceived plans of men.

Read the [whole article](http://jdgreear.typepad.com/my%5Fweblog/2007/06/what%5Fwe%5Fhave%5Fis.html?ref=dashhouse.com) for how they explain their church’s growth. It doesn’t answer every question, but it’s a refreshing change from seeing growth as a marketable and transferable principles coming soon in a book and conference near you.
