CHURCH SIZE TRANSITIONS


Challenge, frustration, or maybe just realization.Many pastors and church leaders, including laity, have “tried everything” to encourage their local church to grow – without lasting results.

The percentage of Assemblies of God churches under 200 has remained the same (16%) for the past twenty years.

Coast Counties Section will present Church Size Transitions with Dr. Jimmie Brewer on Friday, November 10 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Monterey Assembly of God is the host church.

Dr. Brewer, who serves as the Program Director for the School of Church Leadership Ministries at Bethany University will direct a discussion to help participants lead their churches with perspective and confidence.
