Book Synopsis Small Church on a Big Mission by : Jeff Allen
Download or read book Small Church on a Big Mission written by Jeff Allen and published by 3dm Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Megachurches get the headlines, but the reality is that the overwhelming majority of churches are small. These smaller churches are just as committed to God's overarching mission as any big church is. In fact, in many ways they are uniquelyqualified to do so. The leaders of these churches need a resource that understands their real-world context. Now, thanks to Jeff Allen, a Colorado pastor, they have one. Instead of extolling the latest church growth fads, Allen focuses on what's truly important--developing a fruitful culture of discipleship and mission in your particular church, no matter its size. Inside, you'll find practical tips on everything from the pastor's focus to church polity. In this much-needed resource, Allen connects church leaders and church members to the bigness of God's mission in the world, and encourages them toward partnering with God and others in ways they can actually put into practice.
Book Synopsis Small Church Essentials by : Karl Vaters
Download or read book Small Church Essentials written by Karl Vaters and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you lead a small church? Big churches get all the love. Articles, books, conferences—they mostly feature leaders of large congregations. Yet big churches are a small part of the ecclesial landscape. In fact, more than 90 percent of churches have fewer than 200 people. That means small churches play a big part in what God is doing. Small Church Essentials is for leaders of these smaller congregations. It encourages them to steward their role well, debunking myths about small churches while offering principles for leading a dynamic, healthy small church. Based on the popular six-hour lecture that Karl Vaters delivers to church leaders across the country, Small Church Essentials will affirm small church leaders and show them how to identify what they do well, and how to do it even better. Readers will: Be assured that leading a small congregation does not make them ministry failures Come away inspired to lead with passion, regardless the size of their church Have field-tested principles for leading a church in their context Possess new metrics for biblically measuring vitality in small churches Have a toolkit of resources to use in their everyday ministry Karl Vaters has been a small church pastor for 30 years, is the author of The Grasshopper Myth: Big Churches, Small Churches, and the Small Thinking that Divides Us (2013), and travels extensively to churches and conferences to speak about leading a small church well. If you are pastoring a small church, this book will be a breath of fresh air. It will affirm your calling while giving you fresh tools to help you lead. It will help you: Stop believing lies about small churches Lead your church to fulfill the role only small churches can Understand your congregation’s strengths and weaknesses Turn around a dying or unhealthy church Identify good trends and bad in church and culture

Book Synopsis The Gifts of the Small Church by : Dr. Jason Byassee
Download or read book The Gifts of the Small Church written by Dr. Jason Byassee and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dizzying changes have taken place in American religious life in the last half century. Yet in spite of that fact, taking a snapshot of a “typical” Christian church in America would reveal a surprising number of small-to-mid-sized congregations, rooted in a local neighborhood or community, tied to a specific denomination, where most of the members know each others’ names, and hence are blessed (and cursed) with being the church together. In this clear-eyed, humorous appraisal, Jason Byassee contends that the “church around the corner” occupies a particular place in the divine economy, that it is especially capable of forming us in the virtues, perspectives, and habits that make up the Christian life. Not that he romanticizes these churches, however. Having been a rural, small membership church pastor, Byassee knows too well the particular vices and temptations to which they are subject. But he also knows the particular graces they’ve been given, graces like the “prayer ladies,” those pillars of the congregation who, “when one told you she was praying for you it meant something. When one hugged you, you remembered all week. When one cooked for you the casserole tasted like love. And when you were around them you were in the presence of Jesus.” Anyone who serves, or belongs to, a “church around the corner” will find their ministry strengthened by this enlivening, inspiring book.
Book Synopsis Small Is Big, Slow Is Fast by : Caesar Kalinowski
Download or read book Small Is Big, Slow Is Fast written by Caesar Kalinowski and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You don’t need to have the talents of a rock star or the wisdom of Yoda to effectively and naturally live a life on mission with God. And you do not have to add a big list of new activities to your life! Instead, it is the everyday ordinary things done with greater gospel-intentionality...slowly over time...that make all the difference. Biblical and super practical, Small Is Big, Slow Is Fast helps readers respond to Jesus’ call to each of us to be a missionary right where we live—in our own families and neighborhoods. It shows you step by step the essential elements that create environments for organic kingdom growth and multiplication. Whether you’re looking to lead your own family or are taking first steps toward starting a church that has discipleship and mission at its core, you will discover the secret to starting out small and going (seemingly) slower—and not feeling guilty about it. And you’ll be encouraged to trust that when you lay the right foundations, multi-plication will occur and will always be “faster” and more successful in the long run.

Book Synopsis Mission Possible by : Terry W. Dorsett
Download or read book Mission Possible written by Terry W. Dorsett and published by CrossBooks Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Terry Dorsett has worked with one of America’s largest congregations and has also been the pastor of small churches in Vermont, the least-churched state in America. In Mission Possible: Reaching the Next Generation through the Small Church, he shares his thoughts on how to reach the next generation of worshippers. It’s no secret that many churches are struggling to reach the next generation. The thirty-and-under age group has become one of the hardest to reach in America. Some larger churches have developed innovative ways of reaching this age group, but many smaller churches are simply unable to use those types of innovative methods. Even so, they still want and need to reach the next generation. Dr. Dorsett has discovered, through both personal experience and extensive research, easy-to-use methods and ideas that any church can put into practice, regardless of size or budget. He believes that there is nothing a larger church can do that a smaller church is unable to accomplish. What is important is that every church, regardless of size, fulfills the call God has for them in the community where God has placed them.
Book Synopsis Small Congregation, Big Potential by : Lyle E Schaller
Download or read book Small Congregation, Big Potential written by Lyle E Schaller and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kindle Edition There are many questions that leaders of small-membership congregations ask themselves about their church's future. Lyle Schaller suggests that two in particular should rise to the top of the list. First, what's the right size of for a church? Is the small congregation averaging two or three dozen people at worship a legitimate order of God's creation? You bet it is, says Schaller. Second, should these congregations make their plans on the basis of few resources and fewer options, or should they see themselves as possessed of pools of talent and expanding possibilities? If you are convinced that the former is true, then this book is not for you. If, however, you are among those who believe that small-membership churches are distinctive places of Christian witness and service, spreading the gospel and living in service to the world in ways that other, larger churches are not, then this book is for you. In it you will find the right questions to ask as you seek to lead a small-membership congregation, and solid, practical guidance for doing so.
Book Synopsis Megachurch Accountability in Missions: by : Jinbong Kim
Download or read book Megachurch Accountability in Missions: written by Jinbong Kim and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 1993-06-01 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Megachurches are of relatively recent vintage. Their numerical strength invests them with social and financial power. To whom, if anyone, however, are megachurches accountable? What role do they play as innovators in missions? How have their enormous influence and financial strength been harnessed? What lessons can be learned? What course corrections ought to be made? Over the course of a week, the third meeting of the Korean Global Mission Leadership Forum (KGMLF), held in Korea in 2015, addressed these and related questions. Combining the insights of a rich mix of Korean and international megachurch leaders and scholars, Megachurch Accountability in Missions: Korean and Global Case Studies offers analysis, critique, and positive recommendations for future megachurch engagement in mission.
Book Synopsis The Small Church at Large by : Robin J. Trebilcock
Download or read book The Small Church at Large written by Robin J. Trebilcock and published by . This book was released on 2002-12-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for small-church leaders, especially in rural and pent-urban settings, The Small Church at Large blends creative storytelling with practical principles. This book is about "thriving" small churches as they confront the changes of our times and engage the people in their communities who were born after 1965 (Gen-Xers, Millennials) in worship and mission. There is hope for the small church, but only if the small church surrenders organizational models, worship patterns, stewardship assumptions, leadership expectations, and minority self-interests that have come to be more precious to small churches than the gospel itself. The competition that challenges the future of the small church is not the influence of other major religions; nor is it the influence of deified cultural forms of sports, success, profit, or politics. The real competition comes from within the small church itself. It is the smallness of its vision, the smallness of its inclusivity, and the smallness of its heart. Robin John Trebilcock proves that neither the lack nor the abundance of resources will be decisive for the future of the small church. Imagination, sensitivity, leadership, and sheer undiluted faithfulness will win out every time
