I've heard lots about EV before I joined: They're growing but'... 'all transfer growth', 'watering down the gospel' etc
When other churches grow and ours aren't so we try to think of other reasons why. So we say it's all 'transfer growth'.
Often the transfer growth is good, because they're moving out of churches that aren't giving them the gospel. But at EV I have also seen not only transfer growth where people get converted and matured and active in ministry, but also lots of conversions from outside.
