Synopsis:An estimated 4,000 churches are planted every year. An estimated 3,700 churches close every year. It’s not easy starting or sustaining a vital Christian witness of any kind. It’s even harder when there’s no structure to support the good work you’re doing. Guardrails offers structure to your good impulse to follow the great commission to go and make disciples right where you are.

Guardrails provides six principles that allow for sustainable growth in a church’s mission, for the health of God’s people and the sake of the world.

From the Back Cover: Church Growth ≠ Church Health
Every impulse to share the gospel and make disciples is a good impulse. But without a structure to organize our impulses and focus our vision, the great commission can drive us straight into burnout. Healthy church growth is measured not by full schedules or even packed seats but by a steady multiplication of disciples of Jesus.

That happens when we organize ourselves around discipleship that is simple, holistic, adaptable, regular, reproducible, and positive.These six highly practical principles will give life and momentum to any ministry.

Read Guardrails and find your ministry better organized, more sustainable, and more fruitful.
