Abstract

In the mid-1970s, criticism of the Church Growth Movement gradually
began to wane. Donald McGavran reduced his teaching load to half-
time, although he continued to teach for another decade. McGavran and
Win Arn continued teaming together on books and films, and even Peter
Wagner turned toward a focus on North American Church Growth. The
Church Growth Movement came of age, and it would flourish throughout
the remainder of the 1970s and into the 1980s.
