Seven Tools: Rediscover Your Church's Hidden Potential for Growth and Vitality In The Seven Tools, David Roseberry reveals that every church already possesses the essential instruments for growth and vitality. Drawing from four decades of ministry experience and church leadership, Roseberry identifies seven fundamental tools every church has access to immediately: Compassion, Focus, Worship, Training, Small Groups, Community, and Planning. The Seven Tools will make you think differently about your congregation. These tools are often forgotten or overlooked, but when they are used effectively, they will spark growth in visitors, new members, and long-term ministry. One pastor wrote, "Grab this book if you are a pastor, but don't read it alone. Read it with your staff team, leaders, and your board." The Seven Tools is a practical guide encouraging pastors, staff, church leaders and members to rediscover and engage these often-neglected powerful resources. Each chapter provides in-depth exploration and actionable advice on leveraging these tools effectively. Is your congregation struggling to grow? Are visitors few and far between? Do members stay on the sidelines of involvement? The solution might be simpler than you think. As Archbishop Steve Wood notes, "This book doesn't just promote growth—it reignites mission." Other pastors have praised this short guidebook, calling it a "treasure trove of wisdom" and a "hands-on guide to the X's and O's of a growing congregation." Roseberry is an experienced ordained Anglican minister with over 40 years of parish ministry. The Seven Tools is written for any church, regardless of denomination, and its wisdom is universally applicable. Don't let your church's potential remain untapped.
