Starting New Churches on Purpose

Excellent book. Every Christian should read this book to challenge them to expand their mind concerning church growth and to realize the potential if we take this mandate seriously.

Outstanding Resource from A Proven Leader and Coach

Ron Sylvia is passionate about new churches being started successfully. More so, he is passionate about the pastors starting new churches being successful. This book is the "must read" for any pastor launching a new church. The principles taught in this book are sound and have been proven time and time again. The Pointe, located in Albany, Georgia, is an example of what can happen when you follow the principles taught in this book. Weekly services began in March 2006 with 295 in attendance. Today, 11 months later, The Pointe has three services with a weekly attendance just under 600. Over 101 new professions of faith were made in 2006! Lucky? I don't think so. Blessed with the experience and knowledge of Ron Sylvia's "Starting New Churches on Purpose"? Absolutely one of the primary reasons we have had such success!

Great Information for the Church Planter

This really is a how-to book for church planters who need to know where to start and how to get there. He uses simple language and down-to-earth examples from his experiences of starting The Church @ The Springs to inspire and inform the reader. In many ways, he demystifies the art and science of beginning a church from scratch. Especially helpful are the church planting resources listed in the back of the book. The principles are sound and work. I know from personal experience. I used the principles to launch my church in September of 2006 and we are averaging 170 a week. I recommend this to all who are thinking about launching a new church for a new generation.
