The Surprising Return of the Neighborhood Church - Discover How Your Church Is Primed to Reach Your Neighbors
by Sam Rainer

There’s hope for your church. Respected church expert Sam Rainer envisions an exciting new wave of revitalized neighborhood churches that are growing and thriving. In the not-so-distant past, churches tended to relocate away from their neighborhoods and build large campuses at major intersections. At the turn of the 21st century, a dramatic shift occurred: A new generation began looking to neighborhood churches to foster life-giving friendships, provide opportunities for service, and create a community dedicated to worshiping God. Sam Rainer describes this movement and answers the most common questions about this surprising new phenomenon:

What are the marks of a healthy neighborhood church?
What are the most common myths about the neighborhood church?
What are the obstacles to church growth?
What are the best strategies to reach your neighbors?

Sam Rainer serves as president of Church Answers and as lead pastor of West Bradenton Baptist Church in Bradenton, Florida. He writes, teaches, speaks, and consults on a variety of church health issues. Sam cohosts the popular podcasts Rainer on Leadership and Est.church.
