I didn’t want to be a pastor. In fact, when God first told me "I want you to be a Pastor" I said "No", and, like Jonah, I ran. In my case I "ran" into a Masters program in social work and then a Ph.D program in Counseling Psychology. My "compromise" was to become licensed and eventually ordained and serve as an Associate Pastor with pastors like the late Rev. Dr. Gardner C. Taylor. Later, I graduated from a life coaching institute.
But God has a way of finding you, don't you know! He did, and I yielded. In 2006, I planted Life Worth Living Fellowship and pastored it for 12 years, doing a variety of creative things. I then turned it over to my co-founder Pastor John Finney, as planned.

That question grew out of my own frustrations as a pastor. I experienced the ups and downs of my church membership, despite all our very hard work and willingness to think outside the box.
So I became an EMyth Certified Business Coach and studied internet marketing from people who built multi-million dollar coaching and training companies in the belief that the same strategies they used to attract clients to webinars, seminars, and coaching programs...could be used by churches to draw in the unchurched to events, services, and ministries.
Now, a growing number of Black pastors are discovering the power of these strategies—and how they can be used for Kingdom impact. That’s why I created the Church Growth Center: to help pastors lead well, grow wisely, and reclaim the joy of ministry.

Practical Expository sermons on a biblical story that show Clearly How God Works
Deepen the Understanding of Your Members. Attract the Unchurched.



I trained it (over 18 months) to do 4 things for you very well:
-> INSIGHT: Show members and the unchurched WHY they are struggling with various issues (whatever problem God lays on your heart) using my deep knowledge of psychology and biblical counseling.
-> GOD AT WORK: Show from a biblical story HOW God transforms those problems (so it's expository and Gospel centered).
-> PREACH: Yes, I trained it on Black preaching cadences and "sermonic moves" (30 of them) so it could give you the kinds of visceral, vivid, and effective language and rhythms that make us historically powerful preachers!
-> TRANSLATE: It helps you translate the Good News into the language that UNCHURCHED people can understand. Because all too often we speak "church" but don't reach into the minds of unbelievers.
You'll still need to pray for God's message (of course!), study the text, use Logos, etc., but it will get you more than halfway there in mere minutes. You can get the details here:

Give the Unchurched a Different Way to Get Your Help on the Same Topic as the Sermon Series. Build a Connection. Invite Them to Other Things.



PLUS LIVE & VIDEO TRAINING


You are getting access to expository sermons on Biblical stories (almost verse-by-verse) that make it super clear to the unchurched what is going on in the story, how it relates to them, and how God can change their life like He changed the life of the person in the story.
The workshops are designed by me, Dr. Sheldon Nix, out of my years counseling clients and teaching psychology. They are designed to 1) Help you make a real difference in the lives of your participants so people will begin to see that you can help them, and 2) Motivate them to come to other parts of your ministry. I explain this strategy in the training you will get.
This is for Black pastors who want culturally-relevant, Biblically-faithful resources to deepen the understanding of your members and to attract the unchurched to your ministry. You MUST be willing to try some new things, but if you do, you will have our support to make it work for your context.
The only real technology I strongly recommend is a widescreen inexpensive TV screen next to you while you are preaching the sermons. That way, when you stream, people can see the slides (the unchurched aren't sitting or laying there with an open bible app!)
It simply works. And it was designed by a Black small church pastor who knows the struggles of trying to do the 100 things a Kingdom-focused church should do with a small budget, only a few reliable leaders, and with you working a full-time other job, raising a family! There is no ministry in the country that offers all this at any price. Let us know if you find one!
While we don't offer a money back guarantee due to the digital nature of what we give you and the extremely low price, you can cancel any time before the next monthly charge. Only one pastor has ever requested one so we're sure you will be satisfied that you received more than your money's worth!
