Something in the Church is broken.

For Christianity to move beyond business as usual, Christians must learn it’s not about what you do, but who you are and who you will become.

Based on a survey of 75,000 people in churches from 65 denominations and 5,000 one-on-one interviews, author and founder of Church Doctor Ministries Kent Hunter gives practical direction for Christians to experience the impact every church could make on society. Utilizing seven key strategies for helping churches be more effective, you will finish Who Broke My Church? and feel refreshed, energized, and ready to be the change.
