Nate's Notes:

How do we grow our church? The answer to that question has been pondered for decades, and literally hundreds of books have been written on the subject. But amidst all of the philosophy & strategy of church growth, there is one principle that many times gets overlooked and it is the most basic one of all. How do we grow the church?BY REACHING THE LOST AT ALL COSTS! Nothing is more central to the growth of our church and THE church than people coming to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ! We can get everything else correct, but if we miss this, we have wasted our time. Don't miss it! People need Jesus in Fairland, America and someone has to reach them - why not us? Have a blessed day! Nate
