The Church Quiz

Are you a pastor or church leader whose ministry isn't growing . . . maybe even declining?

READ THIS BOOK!

One of the biggest jobs of a pastor is to grow the kingdom of God. Church growth and ministry growth are key indicators of whether or not you or your church leadership is doing this well! But if your church or ministry isn't growing or attendance is declining, have you wondered why that is? Could it be that God might be preventing new or unchurched people from coming to your church for a reason? After all, why would He send new people to your church if there's a chance they left saying, "That's what I thought church would be like. It was boring, I didn't understand what they said, and they asked me to do some things I'm not comfortable doing." Wouldn't it be better if they never came to your church in the first place if their bad experience made them decide "church" wasn't for them?

Most churches are unprepared for visitors. Pastors and ministry leaders don't realize that thousands of people in their community are looking for a solution to their problems, and their church could provide the solution. God has placed people in their church to help meet the needs of their community . . . they just aren't going after them.

The Church Quiz book will help:

• Affirm you are exactly where God wants you to be
• Unite the church to reach the lost
• Make your church visitor-friendly
• Take steps to prevent visitors from feeling bored, confused, and uncomfortable

The Church Quiz and the Church Goals program will help you AFFIRM your calling from God, PREPARE for new and unchurched visitors, and show you how to GROW attendance by bringing a steady stream of new people to your church or ministry. Once you activate those activities within your church to EXPAND areas of ministry to help meet the needs of all the new visitors, we'll show you how to SUSTAIN growth, year after year. As a pastor or ministry leader, chances are you've been called to reach people for Christ in your community. The Church Quiz and the Church Goals program will show you how.
