What you've just identified is not a local church, but a ministry church. Sure they like to call and think of themselves as local churches, but in practice they're ministry churches.
When it comes to gaining "new ones", it's just not any "new ones", but ones who have a vision for the ministry. If one doesn't have the vision, they're deemed not worth the investment of time.
