Sam Rainer

Theres hope for your church. Respected church expert Sam Rainer envisions an exciting new wave of revitalised neighborhood churches that are growing and thriving. In the not-so-distant past, churches tended to relocate away from their neighborhoods and build large campuses at major intersections. At the turn of the 21st century, a dramatic shift occurred: A new generation began looking to neighborhood churches to foster life-giving friendships, provide opportunities for service, and create a community dedicated to worshiping God. Sam Rainer describes this movement and answers the most common questions about this surprising new phenomenon:

• What are the marks of a healthy neighborhood church?
• What are the most common myths about the neighborhood church?
• What are the obstacles to church growth?
• What are the best strategies to reach your neighbors?

The neighborhood church is primed for a comeback. The potential is huge. God wants to do incredible things. Are you ready?
