Renew the Purpose of your Church this Easter Season

Did you know that there are now tens of thousands of purpose-driven churches around the world? In fact, there are now more purpose-driven churches outside the United States than there are inside. These churches intentionally focus equally on all five of the New Testament purposes of the church - worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry and evangelism.

As these churches have become purpose-driven, it's been exciting to see those who had lost their zeal become revitalized. It's been exciting to see churches re-discover their unique mission for the world. It's exciting to find churches breaking through growth barriers, not because of gimmicks that attract believers from other congregations, but because they are healthy and balanced.

Maybe you've been wondering if the Purpose Driven Church principles are for your church. You may have heard about it for years, but have decided to pick and choose a few concepts here and there, without really considering how it all works together. Or maybe your church is fully committed to the purpose-driven principles and are looking to become even more effective.

Whatever your opportunity to grow, attend the Purpose-Driven Church Conference, May 17-20 at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. You'll learn from Rick Warren and pastors of purpose-driven churches from around the world. You'll hear about the latest innovations that Saddleback Church is making to be more effective - including how the church has doubled its small groups, grown by 25% in the last two years and how it is mobilizing its members for the global PEACE plan.
