Â
Pastor Robert Morris has experienced firsthand the spiritual and relational excitement of a growing, dynamic church. In The Blessed Church, Pastor Morris brings you practical wisdom for cultivating real growth by nurturing true and Biblical health in your spiritual community.

â€œIn The Blessed Church Robert Morris reveals why Gateway Church in Dallasâ€“Fort Worth has become not just one of the largest churches in America but also one of the most influential. Robertâ€™s devoted, attentive shepherding of this great fl ock is one reason why Gateway is soâ€˜blessed.â€™ In The Blessed Church the biblical principles that lead to true success in the body of Christ are carefully explained. If you love the local church, as both Robert and I do, you wonâ€™t want to miss the insights found in this helpful and practical book.â€

â€œOur world desperately needs healthy, vibrant churches, so Iâ€™m so thankful Robert Morris has written The Blessed Churchâ€”a book that draws on the Gateway â€˜back storyâ€™ to describe the qualities of a healthy local church. More than anything, a heart for God and a love of people define the ministry of Pastor Morris and Gateway Church. If you want a growing vitality in your church, you will profit from every page of The Blessed Church.â€

â€œHow has your church remained so healthy while growing so quickly?â€

Robert Morris gets this question a lot. In other words, people want to know: â€œWhatâ€™s your secret?â€
Â
In The Blessed Church: The Simple Secret to Growing the Church You Love, Pastor Robert Morris unfolds why Gateway Church in suburban Dallasâ€“Fort Worth is one of Americaâ€™s fastest-growing, spiritually enriching local churchesâ€”and still one of its healthiest. Written for both church leaders and lay people, The Blessed Church looks at the qualities that make church â€œworkâ€ in the twenty-first century and how that can enrich your churchâ€”whatever its size or vision.
Â
With the humor and powerful stories heâ€™s known for, Morris shows how every component of your churchâ€”including mission, church government, teaching, worship, small groups, giving, and outreachâ€”can receive Godâ€™s richest blessings. Rather than bemoaning the problems of the contemporary evangelical church, The Blessed Church celebrates the expanding role of the body of Christ in the lives of individualsâ€”starting right where you and your church are today.
