Larry Osborne shares about his start at North Coast Church and the innovations that have occurred over the last 40 years including video venues, sermon-based groups, and being "sticky." Larry gives insights on using culturally relevant group methods rather than imports from other countries. He also cautions pastors about preaching politics and become "Switzerland" in your church.
Larry Osborne is a Teaching Pastor and Kingdom Ambassador at North Coast Church in Vista, CA, helping to oversee its growth from 128 to over 13,000 in weekend attendance with 7 local campuses.
A sought-after trainer of pastors, leaders, and church planters, he has been acclaimed as one of the most influential and innovative pastors in America for pioneering such concepts as sermon-based small groups, pastoral teaching teams, video venues, and multisite churches. His fingerprints are found on churches throughout the world.
Larry’s leadership books include: Lead Like A Shepherd, Sticky Church, Sticky Teams, Sticky Leaders, Mission Creep, and The Unity Factor.
