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, 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.
