It Works for Us

The reason you have this manual in your hands is that you hope yours can become a growing congregation. The question is "How?"

This study has been prepared by a minister whose church increased its membership from 790 to 1,200 plus and its worship attendance from 340 to 650 in five years.

The study is designed to help you and your church develop a positive, practical, biblical-based answer to the question: "How can it happen to us?"

Chapter titles include:
- The approach
- Prayer, power, Bible power and Small group dynamics
- Christian education
