MAITLAND, FL— Today’s church body is facing an
adverse reality: its congregations are dying off at alarming rates. The key to
reversing this massive issue is to connect the next generation within the
churches. Lee Kricher’s new book, For a New Generation: A Practical Guide for
Saving Your Church From Extinction ($10.99, paperback, 9781628715781; $5.99, e-book, 9781628715798) presents a pathway to allow
church leaders and members to become catalysts in creating a church that will
thrive for generations to come.
“Any church leader or member, no matter the denomination, can benefit from working through the challenging questions posed in For A New Generation,” states Andy Stanley, senior pastor of North Point Ministries.
After thirteen years of working for two of the premier leadership development firms in the world, Lee Kricher took on the role of senior pastor of Amplify Church, an aging, dying church in the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh. During the ten years that followed, the church not only experienced significant growth, but the average age of the members and attendees decreased from 50 to 35 years old. Lee’s four decades of leadership experience in both the church and corporate worlds give him a unique perspective on how to apply proven leadership principles in the church. He has a Master’s degree from Fuller Theological Seminary and an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh.
