"Rick Warren has said,
?I?ve noticed over and over that if a church doesn?t get beyond 200 within about a year and a half, it usually doesn?t happen at all. On the other hand, churches that get over 200 in the first year just keep growing and growing.?
A successful purpose-driven church is launched, not planted. Every stage of a new church is essential for a successful launch and each of the five stages of a new church should be fully understood and developed for a successful first year and beyond.
The Starting a Purpose Driven Church Conference begins with the drawing board and takes you all the way through developing an actual weekend service: from dreaming about to actually leading a church that impacts this generation.
This conference is led by practitioners, people who have started churches, lead churches, and work beside church planters. This is a conference of best practices for starting healthy Purpose Driven Churches that will change our generation in America."
