Grow Church, Grow!
By Doug Carter Why are some churches experiencing exponential growth while others in the same community struggle constantly to maintain even their current levels of ministry? Is it really as simple as, “Growing churches are watering down the message,” or “Growing churches are merely appealing to people”s worldly wants”?

Take Risks The kingdom of God is not about playing it safe in the world!
