Learning To Be the Church in a New World: Recognizing and Overcoming the Challenges to Organized Faith in the 21st Century - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Even a casual observer can tell that there are multiple challenges facing today's Church. Some of those challenges include the fact that fewer people are attending, the people that are attending are older, younger believers typically only attend church a few Sundays per year, and younger people who are considering attending church prefer their spiritual relationships exist outside traditional church walls. When did these trends begin and why? What are some of the steps congregations can take to counteract these trends? Should they be focused on developing new programs, or should solutions be based on a more intentional spirituality that trusts God for growth while simultaneously being okay with where a congregation currently finds itself? This book seeks to encourage congregations and leaders to be at peace where God has them and not to find their success in numbers of bodies in the building but in the faithfulness to building God’s kingdom those bodies exhibit.
