Product Description

How are seekers coming to Christ today? What influences their choice to attend a specific church? What's the pastor's role in evangelism? Drawing on 10 years of research, Gary McIntosh addresses motives for ministry, priorities, the reality of churchless Christians, generational and gender-based differences, and other topics to help you develop your own outreach programs.

Publisher's Description

It's no secret that the evangelism methods of yesterday are not yielding the kinds of results they did in the 1970s and 1980s. So how are new Christians hearing the Gospel today? How are they finding churches? And what makes them stay at a church? The answers to these questions have the power to dramatically alter the way we do outreach. And Dr. McIntosh has them.

Based on ten years of scientific research, Growing God's Church shows pastors and church leaders how people are actually coming to faith in the 21st century. It covers factors such as our motive for ministry, the priorities churches set for themselves, the reality of churchless Christians, generational and gender-based differences in evangelism effectiveness, the name of your church, the influence of pastors, and much more. The appendix includes a copy of the survey that provides the basis for McIntosh's arguments and an overview of the study is provided in the first chapter.
