Purpose driven church
Our latest book is Rick Warren's Purpose driven church
What drives your church?
Every church is driven by something. Tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings can each be the controlling force in a church. But Rick Warren believes that in order for a church to be healthy it must become a purpose- driven church, built around the five New Testament purposes given to the church of the Jesus.
„The issue is church health, not church growth!" declares Warren. „If your church is healthy, growth will occur naturally. Healthy, consistent growth is the result of balancing the five biblical purposes of the church."
In this landmark book, you'll learn the secret behind the fastest-growing Baptist church in American history. Saddleback Church grew from one family to over 10, 000 in worship attendance in just fifteen years, while planting twenty- six other churches... and without owning a building.
Founding pastor Rick Warren shares a proven five- part strategy that will enable your church to grow...
- warmer through fellowship
- deeper through discipleship
- stronger through worship
- broader through ministry
- and larger through evangelism
This book shifts the focus away from church building
programs to emphasizing a people -building process. Warren
says, „ If you will concentrate on building people, God will build the church."
Discover in these pages the practical insights and helpful principles that Rick
Warren has taught in seminars to over 22,000 pastors and church leaders from
sixty denominations and forty- two countries.
