Building Churches that Last
Description
This book explores the "first church" described in Acts 2 and lays out the pattern for building churches that will not only last but have an impact from one generation to the next. Dick Iverson writes from over 40 years of pastoral experience. Rather than a book of methods or programs, he offers Bible-based principles for church growth.
