“The Purpose Driven® Church has brought focus and direction to thousands of pastors and church leaders. So many things can be the controlling force in a church, from tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings. Author and pastor Rick Warren believes that healthy churches must become a purpose-driven church and build their philosophy and practice around five New Testament purposes given to the church by Jesus. You will learn a proven strategy that will enable your church to grow, focused on fellowship, discipleship, worship, ministry and evangelism. The Purpose Driven® Church redirects the focus away from church building programs to emphasizing a people-building process.
