Over 70% of churches haven't grown in years, and 15% are failing. Most of the churches that are growing do so by accepting transfers from other churches. This book looks at the issues struggling churches face, examines the social and theological underpinnings of church health, and looks to ways to build the congregation. This book is full of practical ideas and tools to equip local church leaders with strategies to build and rebuild their congregations, leveraging the strengths within and other helps readily available.
