Winning the unchurched secularist is the most pressing challenge faced by contemporary churches. -Dale Galloway Would you believe that over 40 percent of the worshipers in your congregation attend a church service they were not raised in? Incredibly, the church today is ministering to an increasing number of unbelievers, seekers and new followers who have little or no background in the church.

Pioneers such as Bill Hybels, Walter Kallestad, George Hunter III, Tom Benjamin, and Dale Galloway share their wisdom and insight pastors to energize, motivate and encourage. Cloth.
