Shadowbrook Church members in Suwanee, Georgia, have rediscovered their first love–serving Christ and loving others. 

But during Jerrod Rumley’s first two years as pastor, he was shepherding a divided congregation. 



A small number of members seemed better suited for sharing gossip than the gospel.
Older and younger members had relegated the Great Commission to the church staff. 
Gen-Xers were comfortable in a congregation that placed few demands upon them. 
Others were busy meeting community needs–yet seldom shared the gospel.



Rumley needed guidance to unify his splintered congregation. 

He knew exactly where to turn.
