Description
Building Church is the distillation of over 30 years experience of building local church. It contains the principles and lessons learned from repurposing church with passion and direction. But Stephen Matthew doesn’t attempt to prescribe a work-anywhere, transferable model. Instead, he points to the timeless principles of Scripture that provide the building blocks of “the church that God wants you to build”.
“A thorough, step-by-step journey of how to take the seed of a vision to the realisation of a vibrant, dynamic and growing church. Without prescribing a model, Stephen gives the tools to equip you to translate them into the context you are in.”
CLIVE URQUHART, Senior Pastor, Kingdom Faith Church
