Rick Warren lists 10 action steps through the book of Acts to help church leaders ‘finish their race’
‘There's a direct connection between prayer and power’
7. Return to using homes
“Number seven, we must return to using homes,” Warren advised, calling this the “fastest community growth movement of [the] Christian Church.” His own church, he said, grew 50% in a decade before it ever had a church building.
“We had no church buildings. I wanted to prove you don't have to have a church building to grow a church, so Saddleback went 13 years without a building. We had over 10,000 people coming every week before we built our first building. Don't tell me you have to have a building to grow a church. The fastest growth was through homes. We [need to] go back to that.”
