The best days of the church are ahead. Realize tomorrow's church today through this hope-filled guide.
In the past few decades, the church has experienced rapid and distressing change. Hardworking pastors and leaders know they need to embrace diversity, creatively engage younger generations, and equip their people to love their neighbors. But since they don't know how to make the changes needed, they feel stuck and wonder, "What do I do now? What steps can I take to lead our church purposefully and prayerfully into a more hopeful future?"
For dedicated yet drained church leaders, this research-informed resource from the teams at the Fuller Youth Institute and the TENx10 Collaboration offers a clear roadmap to faithfully and effectively navigate change so you can revitalize your church. Through extensive research, interviews, and case studies, you will learn how to
● activate a transformation team
● discern where God is leading and know your why
● communicate a compelling vision
● maintain disciplined attention
● experiment toward a more fruitful, faithful, and lasting future
This hope-filled guide for building tomorrow's church today is the resource your church has been waiting for.
