In this blog post, I'm excited to share with you an interview with my long time friend, Rick Howerton about his new book. We got to know each other well years ago traveling to small group training programs across the country as part of a fledgling collective of friends that has become the Small Group Network.
His book, The Perpetually Growing Church, is a practitioners guide to building a healthy, growing church. He knows a thing or two about this.
He has been a campus minister, a staff pastor and a discipleship consultant (Navpress, Lifeway, KY Baptist Convention). He planted The Bridge Church in Nashville, TN. He has been a frequent speaker and trainer at churches, conferences, and training programs before and since our small group conference days. He has written multiple books and now serves as the Central Group Pastor for Lakepointe Church in Rockwell, TX.
