    About this ebook

    There are many ideas about how to increase the size of a church. But what if our vision is upside down? What if Gods desire is that we focus on being a quality church instead of simply a large church? The Bible envisions the church as a spotless bride, a vision of quality. Todays church seems far from Gods vision of perfection, but that does not change the goals God has for His flock. Using Psalm 23 as a blueprint, Becoming a Grand Champion Church explores how Christ is shepherding His church toward maturity.

    A gap exists between this ages knowledge of sheep and shepherding that makes it difficult to grasp the fullness of Christs shepherding work in the church. The author seeks to fill that gap with homespun remembrances of raising sheep to be shown at the county fair. He then ties the shepherds duties with practical suggestions of how the whole body can work alongside the Good Shepherd toward Christs vision for His bride. The result of following Gods plan is a Grand Champion Church that reflects the qualities of Christ to the world.

    Dale Heinold’s qualifications for this book come from life. In this book, two sources of experiences merge: Dale’s experience raising sheep during his youth and a lifetime of being part of the church. While his experience with sheep ended after high school, he continues to serve the church wherever possible. Over the years, Dale has served as a youth group leader, Sunday school teacher, worship leader, and an elder. He has recently completed a Bachelor of Science degree in church ministry through Oral Roberts University. Dale and his wife of over thirty years, Betty, live on a small farm in central Illinois. They have two grown children who are married with families of their own.
