Turnaround Churches: How to Overcome Barriers to Growth and Bring New Life to an Established Church
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
It can happen in any church — success in ministry can lead to a condition of paralysis. Churches begin to rely on the "tried and true" practices of the past and become unable —or unwilling—to risk making the changes required by present day challenges. It's a dangerous scenario that can lead a church into decline. The good news is that "growth paralysis" can be cured—if church leaders learn to recognize it and take swift, decisive and prayerful action. Turnaround Churches looks at real-life examples of churches that have made a comeback after a period of decline. You'll learn to recognize the cycles of growth and decline that face any ministry. You'll also learn the danger signs that indicate when a church is about to experience a decline.
