Book Synopsis Leading Congregational Change by : Jim Herrington
Download or read book Leading Congregational Change written by Jim Herrington and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bold transformation is needed in many of the congregations that cover the American landscape, argue Jim Herrington, Mike Bonem, and James H. Furr, authors of Leading Congregational Change: A Practical Guide for the Transformational Journey. Drawing on their more than one hundred years of combined experience in a wide variety of church-related positions and a deep commitment to the biblical role of the local church, the authors present practical and concrete principles and concepts applicable across a broad spectrum of congregations. Leading Congregational Change presents a simple, memorable, and transferable framework along with principles of congregational transformation--such as God's call for transformation, the central role of spiritual vitality, the sequential nature of effective change, and the learning disciplines. Illustrations and action items offer adaptable suggestions and starting points for discussion. Leading Congregational Change is designed primarily for pastors and other congregational leaders who sense that things are not "just fine" in their churches and realize that deep change is needed. Judicatory staff and church consultants will also find the model for congregational transformation helpful. Individual ministries within a congregation, new congregations, and parachurch organizations can also use it to facilitate their own transformation. A church will grow when it understands and is genuinely committed to demonstrating and sharing the gospel in relevant ways. Growth will be manifested in the deeper commitment of its members. And more people in the community will hear God's call and become faithful disciples of Christ. Leading Congregational Change is a wise and faithful guide for the journey toward such transformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who Moved My Pulpit? may not be the exact question you’re asking.

Rainer shares an eight-stage roadmap to leading change in your church. Not by changing doctrine. Not by changing biblical foundations. But by changing methodologies and approaches for reaching a rapidly changing culture. You are the pastor. You are the church staff person. You are an elder. You are a deacon. You are a key lay leader in the church. This is the book that will equip you to celebrate and lead change no matter the cost. The time is now.
Book Synopsis The Art of Leading Change by : Mike Bonem
Download or read book The Art of Leading Change written by Mike Bonem and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2022-07-26 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Art of Leading Change, author Mike Bonem asks: What is the primary distinction between the science and the art of change leadership? His answer: People! And leading people in churches and ministries is messy. The science of change leadership doesn't ignore the human element, but it tends to overlook the differences between people and the significant impact those differences have on how to best lead change. The art of leading change is all about people. We can't do the work God has called us to do without people, yet each individual--and each collection of individuals--is unique. This resource is a guide to better understand and practice the art of leading people through change. The heart of the book describes ten perspectives on leading change. Each perspective is captured in a memorable phrase that underscores an important principle, such as "Lead with trust" and "Resisters are not the enemy." The ten perspectives are bookended by two other essential insights: "The Challenge of Leading Change" examines the contours and underlying factors that make change so difficult in ministry settings. "The Courage for Change," at the book's conclusion, explores the conviction and fortitude leaders will need for the change journey. Leading change in a church has never been easy. It has become far more difficult as our society has become increasingly complex, fractured, and secular. Even though change is challenging, pastors and ministry leaders cannot be satisfied with maintaining the status quo. Whether you're leading from the first chair or some other role, and whether the changes you face are big or small, The Art of Leading Change will be a valuable addition to your leadership toolkit.

Book Synopsis Leading Major Change in Your Ministry by : Dr. Jeff Iorg
Download or read book Leading Major Change in Your Ministry written by Dr. Jeff Iorg and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many ministries must undergo major change in order to fulfill their mission, and more importantly, to fulfill God’s mission, in today’s world. This book tells the story of the relocation of Gateway Seminary—as well as other stories of major change. In doing so, it lays out the principles and processes necessary to get the job done. The first section of Leading Major Change in Your Ministry outlines foundational concepts to leading major change. The second section explains a six-fold model for leading major change in churches and ministry organizations. The book includes illustrations throughout, not from hypothetical situations, but from real-life ministry challenges in both local churches and large organizations. While theories about leading major change are interesting, practical insight about how to do it—written by someone who has led multiple organizations through major change—is far more helpful. The stakes are high. Leadership decisions in ministries have eternal consequences. Almost every church or organization needs—or soon will need—to be led through major change. Leading Major Change in Your Ministry is your guide to successfully getting it done.
Book Synopsis Changing the Way We Do Church by : Vernon D. Shelton, Sr.
Download or read book Changing the Way We Do Church written by Vernon D. Shelton, Sr. and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changing The Way We Do Church is a book inspired by the recent decline and exodus which is taking place in the church. For whatever reason people do not attend church the way they use to. This has caused many challenges within the church, and some congregations are struggling to survive. There are many personal reasons why people do not attend church, but some of it has to do with the church itself. Worship is stale or failing to meet the people's spiritual needs. However, the tragedy is that many churches have not realized this drastic change, or they are ignoring what's taking place. Another issue is that everything is changing, but many churches are staying the same. If some churches do not wake up and make some necessary changes, they will continue to lose members and be forced to close its doors. Therefore, this book is a practical guide that will assist churches in why and how they should implement change so that the church can continue to be a fruitful congregation.
