Biblical Church Growth
How You Can Work with God to Build a Faithful Church
by Gary L. McIntosh
List Price: $18.00
Summary
Leaders change and trends go out of style. Only churches that are built on the solid foundation of God’s Word will remain effective.
Biblical Church Growth explores the unchanging biblical principles for church growth and applies them to today’s culture. Gary McIntosh defines church growth as effective evangelism, not simply a methodology for increasing membership. He sets forth nine basic principles that provide an eternal foundation for helping any church, large or small, achieve lasting vitality and growth.

For many years critics have hounded church growth advocates for their failure to establish methodologies on biblical foundations. Gary McIntosh has done a great service by addressing these issues in a powerful and cogent way.

Gary McIntosh skillfully forges a step-by-step guidebook so that we can be instruments of Jesus to build his church today. No church leader should miss this strategic book.
