How many newborn believers are in your church? Here are some ways you can help them in their spiritual development journey.

How many newborns are in your church? Is it time for them to grow up?
I don’t mean newborn children. I’m talking about newborn believers. A recent study from Grey Matter Research and Consulting and The Blount Collective gauges spiritual maturity among evangelicals in the U.S. The survey identified ten stages of spiritual growth: newborn, infant, toddler, child, pre-teen, adolescent, adult, parent, grandparent, and godparent. Everyone in the study qualifies at least as a newborn because they are born-again believers in Christ. Beyond the newborn phase, the study uses specific markers to identify where believers are in their spiritual development.
