LONGWOOD, FL"According to recent statistics, inclusive church attendance in the U.S. and U.K. has been steadily decreasing ever since 1966. If this alarming trend continues, the church will cease to exist unless a more effective worship and leadership model is introduced. Building a Church to Last: The Miracle in Pawleys " A Proven Model for Planting New Churches and Revitalizing Existing Ones ($15.99, paperback, 978-1-61379-323-7; $25.99, hardcover, 978-1-61379-324-4), a new title from Xulon Press author Ross Lindsay, describes such a model"the model of the first century, which was very effective. Within the pages of this book, the author tells the remarkable story of the phenomenal growth and transformation that occurred at a 250-year-old mainline congregation located in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, after its senior pastor and his rag-tag army of believers implemented this first century worship and leadership model.
?"Readers of this book will gain the knowledge and confidence to grow their churches,” the author says. ?"Rick Warren says churches are living organs, not organizations. God intends for them to grow. This book tells leaders how to build a church to last.”
Lindsay, who holds a Ph.D. in church growth and church planting, worshiped at the church described in the book for 25 years and witnessed firsthand the remarkable growth and transformation of this congregation. ?"All Saints Church, the subject of the book, grew tenfold in ten years. If this 250-year-old church located in coastal South Carolina can grow tenfold, any church can!”
