Hey! I’m Bryan Dwyer, founding pastor at Alpine Church in Utah (www.alpinechurch.org), a multi-site church started in my backyard in 2001 with just a handful of families. We’ve grown to over 2700 weekly attenders in 8 campuses, many of whom are new believers with a Mormon background.
Most of my life I’ve had a passion for helping people pursue God, and now I spend a lot of my time training pastors and leaders on how to turn their ministries into powerful disciple-making movements. Everyone talks about making disciples; I can show you how to use the free online tools at pursueGOD.org to actually do it.
Read on to learn how I can help you and your church get to the next level.
