How to Empty a Church: The Manual: Guidelines for Church-Planters and Pastors Gleaned from a Real Ecclesiastical Saga - Softcover
Synopsis
Many have pontificated about church growth, telling church planters and pastors how to increase the number of attendees and members. Most have spoken authentically from inspiring experiences, and what they’ve recommended has worked . . . at least for some. But what about advice on how to reduce those numbers, how to empty those pews? This “manual” provides just that, and its suggestions don’t emanate from an ivory tower; they, too, are based on real-life experiences. The insights and guidelines of How to Empty a Church may be expressed tongue-in-cheek, but they’re not fictional; they reflect the history of an actual congregation. Fasten your seatbelt; it’s going to be a bumpy—but worthwhile—ride!

About the Author
John Oldfield, a graduate of the College of Wooster and Denver Seminary, was a pastor for over forty-one years--in rural, urban, and suburban communities. He and his wife Dagmar planted Yorktowne Chapel in center-city York, Pennsylvania "from scratch" and pastored it for twenty-eight years. With unusual transparency, he tells that story in his book, How to Empty a Church: The Manual. Due, in part, to the impact of the Passion of Jesus Christ upon his own heart and life, he has also written Prizing His Passion: Why the Death of Jesus Christ Should Matter to You . . . A Forty-Six-Day Journey. The producer of a weekly radio program for over twenty-six years and a police chaplain for twenty-five years, he likes biking, peppermint-stick ice cream, and TV cop shows. A widower, he has four children, six grandchildren, and one great-grandson. After eleven years in metro-Phoenix, Arizona, he resides again in York.
