Some churches flourish even in the most challenging circumstances, while others remain stagnant despite seemingly favorable conditions. The truth is that church growth is not determined by circumstances—it stems from core principles and practices that healthy, thriving churches share.
Similarly, pastors who lead growing churches come from diverse backgrounds and personalities, yet they also exhibit key characteristics in common. Discovering these shared traits is the secret to building a church that thrives over time.
In Church Growth Principles and Practices, Dr. Jeff Fugate, pastor of Clays Mill Road Baptist Church in Lexington, KY, shares the strategies and insights behind his church’s sustained growth. Drawing on years of experience, he presents practical, actionable guidance for pastors and church leaders who want to see their ministries grow and flourish.
