'The Purpose Driven Church has brought focus and direction to more pastors and church leaders than you can count. What a gift '---John Ortberg, bestselling authorEvery 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 by 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.'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* larger through evangelismThe 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 buildthe church.'
