Book Notes: We Refused To Lead A Dying Church by Paul Nixon
Paul Nixon just happens to be my coach. I have learned a lot from Paul over the past year and I have enjoyed reading the books Paul has written. In We Refused To Lead A Dying Church, Paul shares several stories of churches from all backgrounds who have come back from near death to being vibrant places of worship in their communities.
There are churches from conservative to liberal, in areas from urban to suburban. When all is said and done, if a church desires to live and has good leadership, there is great hope.

We are a Multi Site Church, one church in multiple locations. Our 1st campus is located at 225 Fulcher Street in Hillsville Virginia. Our 2nd location is on Main Street in Hillsville, FUMC Downtown, Out of the Box Worship Center, and our 3rd location is 522 North Main Street in Hillsville and this is our Youth Ministry Center, FUMC Downtown “Out of the Box”, Youth Ministry. The most recent ministry we have is “Out Of The Box Worship Center” and we are located at 516 North Main Street Hillsville. This site is now my main focus, along with the Youth Ministry.
I have a Passion to see hurting people come to know Jesus Christ. I believe that we as Christians have to demonstrate God’s Love to the world, rather than just telling them they are loved. I am married and have 3 sons two very special nephews that are like sons, 3 grandchildren, 5 great nephews, and one great niece that are like grandchildren. I am a blessed man.
I attended school at Carroll County High School, Wytheville Community College, Liberty University, and Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary.
