Welcome to PresbyGrow! Thanks for stopping by our site.
Presbygrow is a ministry of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and our Church Growth Network. Our goal is to make the best resources available — across denominational lines — for New Church Development, Church Transformation and Church Growth in general.
If you have something — a resource, website, or idea that you would like to see here, email me. We will make sure it gets posted. This site is for you so help us make it the best it can be.
The Office of Church Growth would like to make our staff, field staff and NCD coaches available to come and work with your Presbytery or church. Click here if you would like to send a request for a visit from a member of the Church Growth Staff or a NCD Coach. Or if you prefer to talk to a live person, give us a call at 888-728-7228 ext 5247.
