Your Instructor
Rich Birch is a pioneer of the multi-site church movement in North America. He played a key role in helping The Meeting House in Toronto become Canada's largest multi-site church, with over 5,000 attendees across 20+ locations. He has also been part of the leadership at Connexus Community Church, a North Point Strategic Partner in Ontario, and served as Operations Pastor at Liquid Church in New Jersey.
Rich is on a mission to help 100 churches grow by 1,000 people by improving their invite cultures. He shares insights on his blog and podcast at unSeminary.com.
His book, Church Growth Flywheel: 5 Practical Systems to Drive Growth at Your Church, has equipped over 10,000 church leaders to reach more people. It led to the creation of the Church Growth Flywheel Masterclass, a proven step-by-step system for increasing church growth.
Rich’s latest book, UNLOCKING YOUR CHURCH’S INVITE CULTURE: Strategies for Church Growth That Work Today, provides practical strategies for enhancing invite culture in churches.
As lead coach of the Church Growth Incubator, Rich helps churches grow by learning from the fastest-growing churches and applying their strategies.
Rich is married to Christine, and together they are raising their young adult children, Haley and Hunter, while trying to keep their dog, Rory, off the furniture!
