Ready, Set, Grow!: 3 Conversations That Will Bring Lasting Growth to Your Church

In the American church, we talk a lot about developing leaders, but few pastors have a real strategy to turn willing workers into dynamic multipliers. Scott Wilson is one of those few. God gave Scott a vision and a plan for his staff and volunteers. It wasn't a quick fix. The strategy took three years, and it had plenty of bumps in the road. At the end, though, the leaders of his church were more inspired, challenged, and equipped than ever before. Their lives, their church, and their community will never be the same. The principles and practices in this book aren't a magic formula, and they aren't a rigid code. They are profound guidelines for pastors to adopt and adapt so they can build a new culture that equips leaders at all levels and celebrates the right things.

Scott Wilson has been in full-time pastoral ministry for more than twenty years. He is the senior pastor of the Oaks Fellowship in Dallas, Texas. Scott is the CEO and founder of Scott Wilson Consulting, an organization that exists to work alongside churches and marketplace leaders to enable them to achieve the full potential of what God has called them to do. Scott and his father, Dr. Tom Wilson, lead one of the most innovative public school systems in the state of Texas. Life School currently educates over four thousand students in five locations in the Dallas area. Under Scott's visionary leadership, the Oaks School of Leadership was founded in 1998. This school of ministry is in partnership with the Southwestern Assembly of God University in Waxahachie, Texas, and all students receive up to forty-eight university credit hours over a two-year period and are eligible for grants and loans like any other major university.
