Today we are celebrating the birthday of my friend and mentor, Dr. Gary McInstosh. Happy Birthday, Gary!

Gary is an internationally known professor of Christian Ministry and Leadership. He combines a thorough knowledge of how churches grow with a desire to see people saved and assimilated into local churches. This has resulted in him becoming an in-demand expert on the subject.

He is also a past president of the American Society for Church Growth. He’s written over 100 magazine articles dealing with church growth, leadership, evangelism, and pastoral ministry. He has invested his life providing insights into church growth, guiding pastors and church leaders to reach lost people with the message of the Gospel!

To learn about church growth from Dr. McIntosh himself, check out his resource titled Biblical Church Growth.

Your partner in ministry,
