Book excerpt: Many churches are switching to the multisite or multiservice models to manage crowded sanctuaries due to growing attendance. This solution seems sensible in the short term, but too often churches adopt this model without taking into consideration what the Bible says about it. Illuminating the importance of physical togetherness as a way to protect the gospel, this book argues that maintaining a single assembly best embodies the unity the church possesses in Jesus Christ. Jonathan Leeman considers a series of biblical, theological, and pastoral arguments that ask us to stop and examine intuitions or assumptions about what a church is. He reorients our minds to a biblical definition of church, offering examples of churches that have thrived with a single service at a single site and compelling alternatives for those looking to solve the complications that come with a growing church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is one that pertains to the family ministry of the Korean immigrant church helping to restore faith community of the immigrant families. It is a study of the family worship ministry which recognizes the need for family ministry by local churches and assist and guides family worship of each family among the method of the ministry. Due to industrialization and nuclear family system, the family of this age is living and faced with many difficulties and problems. While there were many factors that could help and support family under large family system of the past, in the nuclear family period, family were exposed to the vulnerable environment. In particular, immigrant families have even greater difficulties to overcome in terms of culture, language, and generational conflicts, and the immigrant church must undertake ministry that serves these families with faith. The immigrant church is consisted of small to medium sized churches that voice up various difficulties in carrying out special programs for the family ministry. However small to medium sized churches are more effective than the large sized churches in achieving a family like church. This is so because, relative to the larger church, pastors, pastors of the small to medium sized churches would know much more about the situations and difficulties of the families, and so they can pray diligently and help with details with the church community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The times are definitely changing. What was once simply referred to as a Nuclear Family in North America has morphed into labels such as Non-Traditional Families, Fragmented Families, Single-Parent Families, Gay-Partner Families, Blended Families, and beyond. "It may not always be pretty, but it is reality, and that's the intersection between biblical ideal and ministry practice," writes editor Michael J. Anthony in A Theology for Family Ministry. With thoroughly researched input from a broad team of family experts, the book advises church and ministry leaders on how to make biblically and philosophically informed choices when reaching out to adults and children within these shifting paradigms. Emphasis is placed on what the Scriptures teach about the composition of the home, followed by discerning and hopefilled strategies for helping all families live out their God-given mandates. "While the family may continue to change into models that bring discomfort and angst to some of us, we rest in the assurance that God has a plan for those who live in any of these new configurations of what we now call family," explains Anthony. Other contributors include Ken Canfield, Michelle D. Anthony, Karen E. Jones, Freddy Cardoza, Michael S. Lawson, Richard Melick Jr., Curt Hamner, Leon Blanchette, Gordon R. Coulter, James W.

Download or read book Solving the Immigrant Church Crisis written by Ronald M. Rothenberg and published by Ronald M. Rothenberg. This book was released on 2016-08 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solving the Immigrant Church Crisis: The Biblical Solution of Parallel Ministry (Acts 6:1-7) addresses the crisis of the immigrant church in which complex cultural and linguistic factors create a reticence on the part of immigrants to transfer financial and decision-making authority to succeeding generations, and this results in a culturally irrelevant ministry to those generations, an exodus of believers from the church, a spiritually immature remnant, and an inability to reach the lost. The thesis of this book is that parallel ministry, based on Acts 6:1-7, is the biblical solution to the crisis in the immigrant church. While there are at least two main aspects of this crisis, a spiritual-relational and an ecclesiastical aspect, this book focuses on the ecclesiastical aspect of defining the biblical structure of church government. Specifically, this book is for immigrant churches primarily in the United States and offers them a biblical and practical solution to the problem plaguing them for over two centuries of how to minister effectively to the succeeding generations.

Download or read book Family Ministry in a Korean Immigrant Congregation written by Jun Kim and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Though Korean congregations occupy a central place in the lives of Korean immigrants, previous literature has not examined their role in supporting families. By engaging in the descriptive, theological, and strategic work of practical theological investigation, this dissertation employs sociological, psychological, and theological perspectives to investigate how one Korean immigrant congregation supports its families. An examination of current literature on the importance and roles of Korean congregations provides background to the study. This is followed by a review of models of congregational family ministry, arguing that effective forms of ministry require understanding the specific needs of a congregation's families, as well as the local congregation's theological views. Practical theology provides the method for this study's effort to analyze the needs of Korean families and the way their congregation ministers to them. A congregation well known for addressing family needs was selected for study, using observation of church events, interviews with families and leaders, and analysis of sermons and other church documents. The study looked for the key theological themes embedded in the congregation's practices. It was found that the case congregation's family worship service and educational ministry aim to resolve generational tensions in families. Its mode for doing so is shaped by its theological conviction of God's call to global mission, emphasizing cross-generational involvement in missions. Using family life-cycle theory, this dissertation analyzes the needs and stresses of the families of the congregation's youth group, showing how the congregation's ministries do and do not support immigrant families. The congregation's emphasis on global mission rests on key biblical texts that are often heard from the pulpit. A fuller understanding of those texts reveals a theme of God's compassion, a theme that might deepen this church's family ministry. Drawing upon yet extending Heinz Kohut's interpretation of empathy in the light of the theological notion of believer's union with Christ, then, a normative vision of congregational care toward an "empathic community" provides the base for concrete suggestions for the case congregation's ministry. The dissertation ends with implications for researchers and practitioners in the fields of the Korean-American church, pastoral and clinical care, and congregational studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every church is called to some form of family ministry, but this calling requires far more than adding another program to an already-packed schedule. The most effective family ministries refocus every church process to engage parents in discipling their children and to draw family members together instead of pulling them apart. In this second edition, Jones expands the definition of family ministry, and broadens the book's focus to address urban perspectives and family ministry in diverse settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigration is an issue of major concern within the Christian community. As Christians, how should we respond to the current crisis? Interweaving biblical narratives of border crossing and recent stories of immigrants at the US-Mexico border, this accessibly written book invites Christians to reconsider the plight of their neighbors and respond with compassion to the present immigration crisis. Julia Lambert Fogg, a pastor and New Testament scholar who is actively serving immigrant families in Southern California, interprets well-known biblical stories in a fresh way and puts a human face on the immigration debate. Fogg argues that Christians must step out of their comfort zones and learn to cross social, ethnic, and religious borders--just as Jesus did--to become the body of Christ in the world. She encourages readers to welcome Christ by embracing DREAMers, the undocumented, asylum seekers, and immigrants, and she inspires Christians to advocate for immigrant justice in their communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint James Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) operates two migrant child care centers that have served families and children for twelve years. Drawing upon Charles Edmond Barnes's experience in this particular ministry, he has been led to present the Doctor of Ministry project dealing with, "The Church's Ministry To Migrant Families Through Head Start Child Care." This project sought to increase awareness of economic and social injustices that effect migrant families. Using Saint James Christian Church as a model, ways were developed for a local church and community to become role models for mission in ministry. Results of the project showed that a church can be an advocate to ensure needed services for migrant farm workers and their families.

Download or read book Religion and the New Immigrants written by Janet Saltzman Chafetz and published by AltaMira Press. This book was released on 2000-10-18 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New immigrants_those arriving since the Immigration Reform Act of 1965_have forever altered American culture and have been profoundly altered in turn. Although the religious congregations they form are often a nexus of their negotiation between the old and new, they have received little scholarly attention. Religion and the New Immigrants fills this gap. Growing out of the carefully designed Religion, Ethnicity and the New Immigration Research project, Religion and the New Immigrants combines in-depth studies of thirteen congregations in the Houston area with seven thematic essays looking across their diversity. The congregations range from Vietnamese Buddhist to Greek Orthodox, a Zoroastrian center to a multi-ethnic Assembly of God, presenting an astonishing array of ethnicity and religious practice. Common research questions and the common location of the congregations give the volume a unique comparative focus. Religion and the New Immigrants is an essential reference for scholars of immigration, ethnicity, and American religion.
