I’m excited about the opportunity I have to share a series of powerful new church growth webinars with a great group of pastors.

On this webinar, I’ll share – from my own experience and that of my coaching alumni – how to identify and overcome the most common barriers to church growth.

And there’s still room for you!

We both know that your church can and should be reaching more people for Christ. Unfortunately, however, you (and every other pastor in the world) are currently facing these barriers that keep your church from growing.

The first one’s are today – sign-up now to join me at the link below.

In this webinar you will discover:

• How to identify what is keeping your church from growing the way God desires.
• How to identify the #1 barrier that holds back your church (it’s not what you think!).
• Your unique role as the Senior Pastor in removing these barriers forever (it’s not as hard as you’ve been led to believe).
• Specific “nuts and bolts” next steps to remove each barrier and build systems to avoid facing them again.
• How to cooperate with God to experience His blessing in your church.
• …and much more!

There are multiple dates and times for you Today through Thursday:

As I approach my FINAL 12-month Senior Pastor Tele-Coaching Network (starting Feb 28), I’ve been reflecting… and it never ceases to amaze me that God has allowed me to coach over 1,000 pastors since 2006!

So as a way to thank God for this opportunity, I would like to share my all new, 75 minute webinar, “Grow Your Church in 2013,” with the first 1,000 Senior Pastors to register for one of next week’s webinars.

I’m sure you would agree with me on this: Your church has far greater Kingdom potential than it’s currently realizing. But you (and every other pastor in the world) are facing barriers that keep your church from growing.

If you’re one of the first 1,000 Senior Pastors to register for next week’s webinars, I’ll teach you – from my own experience and that of my coaching alumni – how to identify and overcome the most common of these barriers to church growth!

But I will warn you – I’ve sent this out to the Sr Pastors in the Church Leader Insights family and over 700 of them have already signed up – so don’t miss out!

In this webinar you will discover:

• How to identify what is keeping your church from growing the way God desires.
• How to identify the #1 barrier that holds back your church (it’s not what you think!).
• Your unique role as the Senior Pastor in removing these barriers forever (it’s not as hard as you’ve been led to believe).
• Specific “nuts and bolts” next steps to remove each barrier and build systems to avoid facing them again.

Between now and this Friday, July 27, I’d like to give you one of my bestselling “Breaking Growth Barriers” resources absolutely FREE ($29.95 Value)!

As a fellow Senior Pastor, I realize that reaching more people and growing a church can be overwhelming. Combine that with the fact that churches all seem to face specific barriers along the way that threaten their ability to reach more people for Christ, and it’s a recipe for frustration.

Not reaching new people week after week, month after month, even year after year is disheartening to even the most Kingdom-minded pastors!

I want to you break through your current growth barrier this fall! Select from one of four resources this week (choose the resource that is one step above your current weekly ADULT attendance):

• Breaking the 65 Barrier
• Breaking the 125 Barrier
• Breaking the 250 Barrier
• Breaking the 500 Barrier

To choose your FREE resource, click the link below:

2- I’D LIKE YOU TO JOIN ME FOR A FREE “BREAKING THE TOP 3 GROWTH BARRIERS” WEBINAR NEXT WEEK.

I’ll be leading these webinars next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, to help you identify and break each of the three most common barriers churches face in trying to reach more people. You’ll have an opportunity to sign up immediately as you download your FREE resource.

From time to time, I enjoy bringing in a guest blogger – especially when they can bring you something new or different than what my personal experience allows for.

To that end, I’ve asked Don Ross to share some posts on Church Revitalization (or Turn-Around Churches). Don is an Advanced Coaching Alum and the Lead Pastor of Creekside Church in the Seattle, Washington Area.

Hope you find this helpful:

The First Turnaround Church - By Dr. Donald E. Ross

As a coach, I’m often asked how to lead a church through a turnaround situation and see it become vibrant and healthy again. You know the kind of church I mean. It has a rich history and a poor present, a large rear view mirror and a small windshield. You get it.

I tell people I have a great turnaround coach myself, who has been helping stumbling pastors find their way in the fog for the last 2000 years. They smile and respond obligingly, but I’m serious.

Jesus knows very well how to confront lazy pastors who won’t do their job, as well as how to confront churches that stop dedicated pastors from doing their job.

In many ways, the challenge of a turnaround church was written for us 2000 years ago in Revelation, 3:1-3. The letter to the church of Sardis says,
“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God. 3Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.

Look at how Jesus confronts this church in Sardis, which I believe was the first turnaround church in history.

A declining church often had a reputation of once being alive, but it is dead now. I know our church had the reputation of being alive. I’m told our church was the largest church in Seattle in the late 1980’s.

In my first years as pastor, when someone in our church reminded me of our history and how large we once were, I reminded them I wasn’t here then and our church is no longer that way. I didn’t win points with that response. It was my way of reminding us we had a “reputation of being alive, but we were dead” in mission.

Secondly, as a turnaround pastor you are called to “strengthen what remains and is about to die”. To our knowledge, every one of the seven churches in Revelation went out of business, just like the more than 4,000 churches in America that go out of business each year.

A turnaround leader is called to see a better day for the church they are serving and be willing to endure the pain necessary to get the church there. The critical decisions necessary to move a dying church towards health and mission are painful and hard. In fact, just getting your church to admit it’s dying may be the hardest thing of all.

But never forget you serve an expert in resurrection and He loves to bring the dead back to life, so get after it. He is an awesome coach.
