If your church is currently stuck numerically, you've likely hit a growth barrier. If you're moving forward numerically, chances are you're about to hit a growth barrier. It is possible to break through the barriers that hinder growth in your church, but you've got to know the right questions to ask and the right actions to take. Join Stu Hodges, founder and lead pastor of Waters Edge Church, for a practical look at Breaking Through Growth Barrier. ... what works and what doesn't!

Mac Lake.
Every church planter needs leaders in order to get a good healthy start to their plant. But how do you take ordinary leaders and turn them into multiplying leaders? In this session, Mac Lake shares practical steps you can take from day one of your pre-launch leadership meetings to help you build a culture of leadership development in your church plant.

Tony Merida.
Pastor Tony Merida shares some of the lessons that he and the leadership have learned in the first year of their church plant, Imago Dei Church in Raleigh, N.C. This church launched Sept. 11, 2012, and now has more than 200 people in corporate worship each week. Subjects considered involve funding, leadership development, small groups, membership, core team philosophy, preaching, developing an international missions and church planting mindset, and clarifying and executing vision.

John Mark Clifton.
The key to revitalization is the passionate display of the glory of God, not a focus on results, numbers, strategies, worship styles or tactics. Discover how it is possible to go beyond revitalizing your church to replanting your church. “Legacy Church planting” is replanting your church upon its past legacy of missions and evangelism. Included are specific examples from “Legacy Church Plants” that have grown from less than 20 to 200 while planting new churches and working to serve their communities. Learn powerful, transforming and transferable truths that you can apply to your context.

Mike McDaniel.
The reason most churches don’t multiply is because they see church planting as a program instead of a culture. Church planting is not something you put on a “to do” list. It’s a culture you build in your church. When you create the culture, church planting becomes the natural fruit.
