Does your small-town church have a big-time vision for growth and evangelism? Don't be discouraged by the big bucks, big talent, and big facilities of megachurches in America's cosmopolitan areas. In
Micropolitan Church: Doing Mega-ministry in America's Small Towns, author Jerry Harris presents proven strategies for outwardly focused, small-town (populations below fifty thousand) church communities to grow exponentially and make differences in thousands of lives.
I love my work at Leadership Network (www.leadnet.org) because of the opportunities I have to meet 100X leaders like Jerry Harris. Guys like Jerry are always thinking about what's next and putting it into practice right now. Micropolitan Church is all about how his church, The Crossing, has introduced 'what's next' concepts like multi-site to the small towns of America. Read his book and learn how to think micropolitan and make it work in your community.
