Before ascending to heaven, Jesus established a movement that has transcended the test of time: the church. The church of Christ always moves forward – and the gates of hell will not be able to stop its advance – we are an unstoppable force. The church of Christ walks in mission, is empowered by His Spirit, and moves forward despite opposition.
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 Warren will show you how to concentrate on building people and let God build the church. In other words, healthy, consistent growth is the result of balancing the five biblical purposes of the church. And The Purpose Driven Church will show you how to do that.
