Vibrant Church Series - Sugarloaf
UMC
Part of a series of interviews with pastors of
churches whose attendance has grown 20% or more in 5 years.
There are
hundreds of churches that have experienced attendance growth in the
past five years. Let's celebrate such results together.
We have interviewed many pastors of such churches about their ministry
of evangelism to learn to what they can attribute such growth. We will

contact information for that church on our website. This goes to the
heart of the mission of the Foundation, to provide resources for
evangelism that enable the Church to bring persons into a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ. Perhaps this resource will help you
find an idea to start increasing worship attendance at your church.
This months church is Sugarloaf UMC in Duluth, Georgia.
