Bill Easum and Bil Cornelius are two strikingly different, yet
surprisingly similar pastors. One undertook to revitalize a moribund mainline
church; the other, to plant a new nondenominational congregation. Coming from
different generations, their ministries took place under dissimilar circumstances.
Yet both have experienced substantial, even explosive, growth in congregational
mission and membership. Along the way they learned some important lessons, such as
the centrality of strong pastoral leadership, the need for an unhesitating pursuit
of excellence in all areas of the church's ministry, and the requirement that you
picture an audacious vision for your church and live into that vision.
Regardless of the current size of your church, you will find here
inspiring, ready-to-implement ideas to help your church go BIG.
