Before you download the resources mentioned in the book, I want to invite you to join the best program. It’s called Church Fuel One and it’s a monthly membership program for pastors who want to lead a healthy and growing church.
We have hundreds of members, pastors from all denominations and all traditions. The common tie that binds is a love for the local church and a belief that our leadership is a stewardship opportunity.

Now, here are some resources to help you streamline your church…
