Christopher a Lewis

The Rebuilder Christopher a Lewis

Is there hope for a broken church to be restored?


Church splits, scandals, and power struggles are so commonplace that they hardly seem newsworthy anymore. But God's desire and plan is for these hurting congregations to be rebuilt into strong, healthy churches that showcase His love and power to their communities and beyond.


Pastor Christopher A. Lewis accepted God's call to move from a thriving ministry in Chicago to the broken and struggling Christian Community Church of God in Lauderhill, Florida. Within just one year of ministry there, he saw tremendous spiritual growth, interpersonal healing, and renewed community outreach. Numerical growth and physical repair of the church accompanied repentance and restored fellowship. Today the church is thriving, and Pastor Lewis shares from his experiences in this highly practical and personal book.


Drawing rich insights from the book of Nehemiah, this manual for church repair will show you how to:


- Prepare your own heart and life to see God work

- Implement principles of effective personal and corporate prayer

- Understand and prioritize the problems and concerns facing the church

- Deal with dysfunctional leadership and rebuild trust in the ministry team

- Turn the congregation from fighting each other to working together to fulfill God's mission


Plus, each chapter contains relevant questions and prompts for personal application, as well as decisive action steps. Pastors and church leaders who have a burden to be used by God in a ministry of rebuilding will find much-needed direction and support in these pages.


If this level of restoration sounds like an impossible dream, The Rebuilder will fill your heart with hope, vision, and determination to see God work. Even the most broken church can experience His best!
