Hear from pastors—male and female—from across the country who are creatively engaged in church growth. Authors Matt Miofsky and Jason Byassee observed dynamic and growing congregations, all with unique situations and geography. The pair wondered what set these churches apart and what characteristics they held in common. The authors analyzed habits, behaviors, and attitudes in each congregation, and for their research, they interviewed pastors to learn details and context. Lo and behold, this work revealed these eight specific virtues that transcend place and demographics.
