Love Builds: The Seven Dimensions

Building churches for overflow based on the biblical blueprint of Noah's Ark (Genesis 6:9-16). What you measure you know, and what you know you can grow.

Architectural Blueprint

Preparing Your Ministry For Overflow

Welcome to the Seven Dimensions of Church Growth Just as Noah had to build the ark before the rain fell, we are called to prepare our local churches and ministries for supernatural overflow.

“What you measure you know, and what you know you can grow.” — Pastor Renaldo Barnard
