Best Practices of Growing Churches

By Tom Nees
 
Tom Nees profiles twelve churches and the best practices that have helped them sustain growth.  He shares his observations of these strategies and encourages readers to use these benchmarks to promote and sustain growth locally.
 
Best Practices of Growing Churches is an interactive tool that allows pastors to learn from observation. It tells the stories of several growing churches and shares what each did to encourage its growth.  Author Tom Nees provides readers with transcribed accounts of his interviews with the pastors of these churches, preserving their voice and passion as they share their stories. This unique format allows pastors to read these successful practices and then choose how best to apply them to their own situations. By doing so, they not only discover what needs to be done, but also the best way to go about doing it.
 
Regardless of your church’s size or location, Best Practices of Growing Churches is a practical resource that will enrich your ministry. The stories it offers will encourage and inspire you to believe in your own calling as you develop the discipline of listening and learning from the experiences of others.
