Description
Every church is driven by something. Tradition, 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 by Jesus.
Now the founding pastor of Saddleback Church 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
* Larger through evangelism
Discover the same practical insights and principles for growing a healthy church that Rick has taught in seminars to over 22,000 pastors and church leaders from sixty denominations and forty-two countries.
‘The Purpose Driven Church’ 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.”
