New print run for Firestarters' On this Rock
 

On this Rock looks at repeatable traits of growth that all churches could embrace. After selling out its initial print run, it has been revised and updated  

 

On this RockThe Firestarters Network of growing churches helping other churches to grow is part of our Baptist Movement. In January On This Rock was published – looking at repeatable traits of growth that all churches could embrace.

By mid year On This Rock had sold out its initial print run. Now revised and updated, it is available again. This includes two extra sections looking at Health, Grow and Conflict in the story of growing churches; and reflecting on the cost of being a growing church – generally for everyone and specifically for the leaders. The font is slightly increased for ease, and some chapters have revised applications and ideas added in.

It remains fundamentally the same book – short, intentionally written to be easy to read and accessible to volunteer leaders in busy lives as well as paid ministers.

This second print run is now available for church ministers, leaders and teams to engage with and is available at: Resources (firestartersuk.com).


Next Firestarters Network conversation

The next Firestarters Network onsite conversation is in Leicestershire 25-26 September. These are intentionally conversational spaces where volunteers and paid leaders work together, listening and learning from stories of churches that are growing and wondering together the next steps God has for them. You can register here: Events (firestartersuk.com).

Additionally, in responding to growing requests from our Baptist churches, a full series podcast that explores traits of growing Baptist churches via conversation with various volunteer and paid leaders across the country is available here: Resources (firestartersuk.com)
