Do you know . . .
Donald McGavran's homogeneous unit principle?
C. Peter Wagner's nine church diseases?
Win Arn's ratio's that matter?
William Carey's number one commitment?
John Wimber's influence on church planting?
And why Carl George's growth barriers and Elmer Towns' church growth principles are still relevant to your church?
Too many of us have been guilty of throwing the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to the Church Growth Movement. There’s a LOT that still matters.
Too many of today’s pastors and even seminary professors are ignorant of the “biblical” church growth principles that still apply today.

Join Nelson in an examination of the history of church growth and go in-depth into the most innovative and inspiring aspects of church growth with specific tactics that you can start using right now to maximize your ministry.
You’ll fully engage with this three-hour seminar as Nelson provides you with concrete applications to your church with each principle, consistently asking the question and challenging you to think about - “How do we apply that principle today?”
