N2  - `The Purpose-Driven(r) Church has brought focus and direction to more pastors and church leaders than you can count. What a gift!`--John Ortberg, bestselling author Every church is driven by something. Tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings can each be the controlling force in a church. But Rick Warren believes that in order for a church to be healthy it must become a purpose-driven church, built around the five New Testament purposes given to the church by Jesus. `The issue is church health, not church growth!` declares Warren. `If your church is healthy, growth will occur naturally. Healthy, consistent growth is the result of balancing the five biblical purposes of the church.` Rick Warren shares a proven five-part strategy that will enable your church to grow warmer through fellowship, deeper through discipleship, stronger through worship, broader through ministry, larger through evangelism. The Purpose-Driven(r) Church shifts the focus away from church building programs to emphasizing a people-building process. Warren says, `If you will concentrate on building people, God will build the church.`
