About the Book

"The Purpose Driven(R) 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(R) 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."
