Dr. John Vaughan
Founder & Director, Church Growth Today
Dr. John Vaughan is one of America's foremost authorities on church growth. With over 25 years of hands-on research, he has personally studied thousands of churches across every major denomination — tracking what separates stagnant congregations from thriving ones.
A prolific author, sought-after speaker, and dedicated researcher, Dr. Vaughan has equipped tens of thousands of pastors with the data-driven insights and practical tools they need to lead their churches to new levels of health and growth.
His work has been featured in major ministry publications and he has spoken at conferences across North America, Europe, and beyond. His passion is simple: to see every church reach its God-given potential.
Our Mission
Equipping the Church to Fulfill the Great Commission
We believe every church has the potential to grow — not just in numbers, but in depth, health, and kingdom impact. Church Growth Today provides the research, resources, and training that help pastors move past the barriers that hold most churches back.
Research-Driven
Every resource we produce is grounded in real data from thousands of churches across America and beyond.
Biblically Rooted
Church growth is not a business strategy — it is a biblical mandate. We keep Scripture at the center of everything we do.
Practically Focused
We translate complex research into clear, actionable steps that pastors can implement immediately in their local church.
Globally Minded
While our research is primarily North American, our resources serve church leaders in over 40 countries around the world.
