There are many books for churches looking to start with a healthy beginning. But what happens after the big boom of a church's start? Today, roughly eight of ten American congregations are either static or in decline. Many of those churches started out with an outstanding start. But why didn't they succeed in the long run?

This book is about church growth and health from a different angle--long-term growth and vitality. Author Bob Dale writes from his more than 30 years of experience to show not just how to plant a church, but how to keep it healthy and always growing.
