Help For The Small-Church Pastor offers pastors of small churches the guidance and encouragement they need. In this common-sense book, Steve Bierly draws from his eleven years in ministry to show what makes smaller congregations tick. Help For The Small-Church Pastor provides practical insights on uniquely 'small church' issues, such as: The characteristics of small churches, How to work effectively as an 'insider' within the small church, How God is at work in powerful ways in smaller assemblies, How to motivate your church toward positive change and and true growth, How to invest your own time and energy in the right directions, and How your church can reach out to the community in ways that are practical and productive.
