When God Changes A Church is more than a how to book or a blueprint. It is a book of dreams, visions, blessings, travesties, and courage. Above all, it is about one church with an unfathomable faith in a God who always shows up at Greater Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Whenever God changes a church, He begins with the leader. He changes him from the inside out. The role of pastor is pivotal to any real redemptive work that God will ultimately do in the life of a particular congregation. In this book, we will see how God changed a particular church with traditional values into an outward focused church with worldwide reaching opportunities.
