Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Leading the church can be a real challenge in today's world. It
seems like pastors and leaders are being pulled in millions of
directions at once and it is difficult to remain focused on the goals
and mission of the church. Today, more than ever, church leaders
need a simple and effective plan of action to grow their churches.
That is why we put together the Four Step Plan for Growth which
is the foundation of our book, "Growing the Church." We know

pastoring isn't an easy job so we designed this book to be a tool to develop the core
ministries we believe every church needs to succeed.
As in all things, we begin this journey with prayer. The first task every pastor must take on
is finding a personal intercessor. We believe it is essential that pastors be prayed for on a
daily basis. The next step is to develop a discipleship ministry. Pastor Chris Fuchs, our
church's Discipleship Pastor, has developed her life-changing classes, Spiritual DNA
Seminar ®, and Restoration Retreat ® into a program that every church can use in her
"Roots of Christianity Discipleship Program." The third step is to create your follow-up
ministry. It is so important to make sure that every visitor and guest feels loved and cared
for when they come to your church. Finally, it will be time to develop your outreach
ministry. Once you have a solid foundation in prayer, discipleship, and caring for the
people in your church, you will be ready to reach out to the community.
In "Growing the Church" we walk you through each step of developing the ministries as
well as finding the right leaders for them. This isn't about the pastor doing it all - we want
to give you the tools to find people in your congregation to step up into leadership and
help you take your church to a new level.
I am so excited about this book and am thankful that you stopped by to learn more about
it. Get your copy at amazon.com today! God Bless!
