Product Description: (Book and Audio Book).Rick Warren, Saddleback Valley (California) Community Church?s founder and senior pastor says, "If your church is healthy, growth will occur naturally." In his book, "The Purpose Driven Church", Warren relates the Saddleback story and shares a proven five-part strategy that will enable churches to grow: warmer through fellowship, deeper through discipleship, stronger through worship, broader through ministry and larger through evangelism. The thesis of The Purpose Driven Church is that when churches think first about their health, growth is sure to follow. And those purposes can only be accomplished, adds Warren, when church leaders stop thinking about church-building programs and shift their focus to a "people-building process" involving fellowship, discipleship, worship, and evangelism.
