Church Is a Team Sport: A Championship Strategy for Doing Ministry Together
Now available in trade paper, Church Is a Team Sport
shows proven ways to push believers, new and mature, toward growth
as both Christians--and leaders. Through this powerful,
thought-provoking volume, ministers both in the congregation and on
staff will discover how to expand the church one soul at a time.
Making disciples is the crux of pastor Jim Putman's message.
The plan works. Caring for people, following up on stray sheep, and
teaching what it means to love God and obey him. That's how
Church Is a Team Sport transforms Christians from
Monday-morning quarterbacks into dynamic players.
