Having lived almost exclusively in the Western United States, my view is skewed. In the Pacific NW, I would say growth is addition by subtraction.
In the locality I was spent many years of my youth, growth is by the young people having families of their own.
In principle it's not much different than any other congregation or denomination; where you meet is according to your comfort zone. If you were raised as a Baptist, you're going to meet with a Baptist assembly. Those raised in the local churches are more likely to meet with a Local Church assembly.
