Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Starting New Churches on Purpose is a blueprint for starting and growing a purpose driven church in the 21st century. As the founding pastor of Church @ The Springs in Ocala, Florida, and Director of Purpose Driven Church Planting, Ron Sylvia has blazed the trail and laid out a clear pathway to a successful church start. So, how do you build a church from scratch? Where do you start? The church of this generation needs to look much different than the church of our fathers' generation. Today's church must move outside the walls of the building and invade the community. We must be willing to be a laboratory of sorts, experimenting and testing new methodologies with the unchanging message of Christ, continually pushing the limits while holding fast to God's dream for his church. If God is calling you to start a purpose driven church, this book will give you a two-year strategy for breaking new ground, reaching new people, and building a new community of faith‹a community that will carry and steward the message of Jesus Christ.

Excellent book. Every Christian should read this book to challenge them to expand their mind concerning church growth and to realize the potential if we take this mandate seriously.

Ron Sylvia is passionate about new churches being started successfully. More so, he is passionate about the pastors starting new churches being successful. This book is the "must read" for any pastor launching a new church. The principles taught in this book are sound and have been proven time and time again. The Pointe, located in Albany, Georgia, is an example of what can happen when you follow the principles taught in this book. Weekly services began in March 2006 with 295 in attendance. Today, 11 months later, The Pointe has three services with a weekly attendance just under 600. Over 101 new professions of faith were made in 2006! Lucky? I don't think so. Blessed with the experience and knowledge of Ron Sylvia's "Starting New Churches on Purpose"? Absolutely one of the primary reasons we have had such success!

This really is a how-to book for church planters who need to know where to start and how to get there. He uses simple language and down-to-earth examples from his experiences of starting The Church @ The Springs to inspire and inform the reader. In many ways, he demystifies the art and science of beginning a church from scratch. Especially helpful are the church planting resources listed in the back of the book. The principles are sound and work. I know from personal experience. I used the principles to launch my church in September of 2006 and we are averaging 170 a week. I recommend this to all who are thinking about launching a new church for a new generation.
