This book explores the "first church" described in Acts 2 and lays out the pattern for building churches that will not only last but have an impact from one generation to the next. Dick Iverson writes from over 40 years of pastoral experience. Rather than a book of methods or programs, he offers Bible-based principles for church growth.
Dick Iverson
Dick Iverson was actively involved in ministry for over 65 years before passing away at age 87. He pastored Bible Temple (now Mannahouse) in Portland, Oregon, for 44 years, and he was the founder of Portland Bible College and Ministers Fellowship International. In his latter years, he traveled extensively both nationally and internationally, encouraging churches and leaders. He was known as a "pastor's pastor." During his years of ministry, he authored several books, including Building Churches That Last, The Holy Spirit Today, Present Day Truths, and Team Ministry. He was grateful for the truths revealed from scripture during his days of study and ministry and firmly believed in the importance of putting them in writing to be preserved for generations to come.
