The Spirit-Filled Church

Terry Virgo is a leader I have been looking up to spiritually for more than three decades. The founding leader of a family of over eight hundred churches in sixty nations, he is a godly, humble man whose preaching has shaped many thousands of lives, including my own. Newfrontiers, is a unique movement, being reformed in doctrine, charismatic in experience, missional in outlook, and strongly rooted in relationships.

Terry’s book The Spirit-Filled Church forms an excellent introduction to the principles that have shaped his ministry. You can buy it from amazon.co.uk, or from The Book Depository for free delivery to many countries. It can be pre-ordered from amazon.com. It is also available at the Newfrontiers Resources online shop, 10ofthose.com and iconnect direct.

The foreword and extracts from the book are below as well as an interview with the author.

To hear Terry preaching live on the themes of the book, why not come to the next 300 Leaders conference, or Equipped For Mission in the USA.

Elsewhere on this site there are also a number of videos which explore a statement of values that have guided his church planting efforts, and other interviews with Terry.

You can follow Terry on Twitter, subscribe to his blog, or listen to his sermons at his podcast and vodcast.
