Discover the unique gifts God has placed within your church! Discover 10 traits thriving congregations share in Thriving Church. Real stories, practical steps, and visionary insights empower your church to thrive. Unlock your congregation's full potential today.

Why do some churches thrive while others struggle to survive? Thriving Church: What We Can Learn from Faithful Congregations highlights 10 key traits of thriving congregations based on a five-year study of over 20 churches. They discovered that thriving churches know their mission, know one another and who they serve, are scripturally grounded, generous, innovative, forward thinkers, curious, collaborative, and embrace resurrection and community. Packed with practical action steps and relatable stories, this book equips pastors and laity alike to recognize these traits or apply them to their own congregations. Whether your church seeks growth, deeper connections, or a renewed sense of mission, Thriving Church provides the blueprint to flourish in today's world.
