Spirit Empowered Churches
OVERVIEW
The biblical principles for spiritual multiplication are evident in the pages of the Scriptures and in particular in the book of Acts. In A Spirit-Empowered Church, we will look at the heart of dynamic church growth: creating Spirit-empowered disciples who are involved in five activities—connect, grow, serve, go, and worship. A church dynamically involved in these five activities change individuals, families, and communities with the love and power of God’s mighty Spirit. The author of the text, Alton Garrison, shares the Acts 2 church model, which can renew the spiritual vitality of your congregation. The church of Acts 2 turned the first-century world upside down for Jesus. God wants to use your church to do the same today.
