Launch Starting a New Church from Scratch

Thinking about starting a church but feel like everything is stacked against you? Let authors Nelson Searcy and Kerrick Thomas, both pastors at The Journey Church of the City, offer you specific strategies for beginning a church-from scratch. As true practitioners, they launched a New York City church with no members, no money and no staff, and then watched membership skyrocket to more than a thousand people in three years! How did they do it? You'll discover clear, proven strategies for planning services, building a team, raising funds, doing evangelism and rapidly developing a growing membership. Specific advice is included for reaching that often difficult-to-target demographic, the 20- to 40-year-old. You'll also get an insider's look at The Journey Church of the City as a model for church planting. Let this be your toolkit to begin building a healthy, growing church-from scratch!Searcy, Nelson is the author of 'Launch Starting a New Church from Scratch', published 2007 under ISBN 9780830743100 and ISBN 0830743103.
