Dr. Elmer Towns has a challenge for you – to become an influential pastor.
As a church leader, you need to understand the past in order to shape the future. And as an expert in historical church growth, Dr. Towns has NEW insights and applications for you from an impressive study of the ten most influential churches in recent history.
You may not know many of these churches and church leaders – but you will soon discover their great impact on your ministry today.
Based on his 200th book of the same name, Dr. Towns recorded this workshop live at a Nelson Searcy coaching event. As Nelson’s friend and mentor, Dr. Towns has shared exclusive content with this resource that is NOT in the book and is focused on practical applications for you and your own church growth.
This resource explores the ten churches that have had the greatest influence on Christianity worldwide in the past 100 years. Their influence spans across culture and across time.
History has shown that great leaders have the ability to reach beyond the walls of their churches to influence cultures for Christ. You’ll learn from leaders who prevailed against insurmountable odds, with limited resources, in difficult circumstances, all to glorify God. These were average people whom God used in above-average ways.
So with the most unlikely people at the helm, some of the most influential churches emerged in the most unlikely places. These are not just large churches. Not necessarily famous churches. Many are in countries where there is the strongest opposition to the Gospel.
You’ll hear the stories and case studies from Dr. Towns who has been an eyewitness to history. From the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement, to the explosive growth of house churches in Communist China to the expansion of the Southern Baptist Convention and the worldwide rise of praise and worship music led by Hillsong Church – you’ll discover their innovative strategies and how you too can experience exponential growth in your church!
Understanding the history of these 10 churches, you can compare your own experiences to these trends. You’ll have new insight into what to change – and what NOT to change.
Dr. Towns wants you to know that the great things God has done in the past can be done today! With the deeper sense of church history and its applications found in his new resource, YOU too can become influential and fulfill your calling in new and exciting ways.
So are you ready to respond to Dr. Towns’ challenge – and reach your true growth potential for the Kingdom? No matter what challenges you may be facing in your ministry, you’ll be motivated by these historical leaders to be the most influential person for God that you can be!
Dr. Towns identifies himself as “an author-teacher who loves to study, share and teach.” And after more than 40 years of teaching and over 170 popular and scholarly works (as well as two encyclopedias), this college and seminary professor has educated, equipped and inspired spiritual leaders throughout the world. A champion of “spiritual breakthroughs,” Dr. Towns has established himself as a well-respected advocate for achieving church growth through effective organization and leadership. He’s most well known as the co-founder of Liberty University with his friend, Dr. Jerry Falwell. Towns currently holds visiting professorship at five seminaries and has written over 2,000 articles – most concerning church growth.
The perfect accompaniment to the resource, Nelson Searcy interviews Dr. Elmer Towns about this 200th book, The Ten Most Influential Churches of the Past Century and other church history books like The Ten Largest Sunday Schools. Dr. Town expounds on why it is important that pastors know church history and the research process he went through in narrowing down the Top Ten Churches.
