The Purpose Driven Church
"The Purpose Driven Church" is a book by Rick Warren that outlines a model for church growth and community engagement. It emphasizes the importance of having a clear purpose in church activities, focusing on five biblical purposes: worship, ministry, evangelism, fellowship, and discipleship. This approach aims to create a balanced church that meets the spiritual needs of its members while reaching out to the community.
The book encourages churches to assess their mission and align their programs with these purposes. By doing so, congregations can foster a sense of belonging and encourage spiritual growth, ultimately leading to a more vibrant and effective church environment.
