In a culture chasing the next big church model, what if the secret to growth is getting back to the basics?
After 20+ years of faithful ministry in South Arlington, Dr. Maurice Pugh has seen God double New Life Fellowship’s attendance since COVID — adding one new service every year — simply by trusting Jesus with the results.
Maurice Pugh and Eric Bryant explore what it looks like to build a thriving, multiplying church on sound doctrine, authentic community, and Spirit-led faithfulness. From micro-group discipleship to city-wide outreach, Maurice shares the rhythms and convictions that are producing real, lasting fruit.
This conversation is a timely encouragement for every pastor who is tempted to measure success by size alone.
The church grows when pastors stop striving and start trusting. Maurice shares how returning to Christology, the Trinity, and sound biblical teaching is drawing people into genuine faith. His two-year micro-group discipleship model is on track to multiply 1,500 disciple-makers, and his personal rhythms of rest have sustained him for the long haul.
