As a church consultant for Injoy Stewardship Solutions, I frequently speak with some of the greatest leaders in the Christian community. Of all the leaders I have had the privilege of meeting, there is none that I respect more than Ike Reighard, Senior Pastor of Piedmont Church in Marietta, GA.
Ike has been a personal friend for 15 years and I consider him one of the leading experts in America on the subject of church growth. Let me explain:
- When Ike pastored New Hope Baptist Church in Fayetteville, GA, it was recognized as the 2nd fastest growing church in the Southern Baptist Convention.
- When Ike planted NorthStar Church in Kennesaw, GA, it was recognized at the time as the fastest growing church plant in the history of the Southern Baptist Convention.
- And when Ike took over Piedmont Church, it was literally six months away from shutting its doors. It now runs over 1,000 in weekly attendance and has been a catalyst for transforming its community.
Did you notice the three types of churches Ike has led? He has grown an established church, a church plant, and a declining/dying church. I do not know of any other Christian leader who has that resume.
Recently, I sat down with Ike and filmed a six-part interview series on how to grow a church. Over the next two weeks, we will offer something for every church leader regardless of what type of church you are in. Here is what is upcoming:
- Part 1 – The Type Of Leader God Uses To Grow A Church
- Part 2 – How To Grow A Church Through Community Ministry (To Be Posted Sunday, October 7th)
- Part 3 – How To Grow A Plateaued Or Declining Church (To Be Posted Thursday, October 25th)
- Part 4 – How To Grow A Church Plant
- Part 5 – How To Grow An Established Church
- Part 6 – How To Grow A Church Using Volunteers
Please pass these interviews along to every leader you know. Getting these insights from Ike is a gift to Christian leaders and we are honored to share it with you.
Also, please let us know one thing you can take from each interview to help grow your church.
