From Decline To Deliverance

The occupation of Senior Pastor has become challenging over the past few years, challenging because many churches across America appear to be struggling with church attendance. This book was designed to present material that any church can apply to their situation and experience recovery. The hope is that this book will help churches recognize, recover from decline, experience growth, and impact the communities where they are located.

The occupation of Senior Pastor has become challenging over the past few years, challenging because many churches across America appear to be struggling with church attendance. This has contributed to a decline in many churches, thereby, causing many to close their doors. This book was designed to present material that any church can apply to their situation and experience recovery. It is my hope this book will help churches recognize, recover from decline, experience growth, and impact the communities where they are located. It is the researcher's desire to see churches recover and to become healthy again. The world needs more healthy churches because there are too many people that are lost without the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
