About this title

Synopsis

Most churches face a significant disconnect between them and their surrounding communities. Before the antebellum period, churches focused on personal salvation and social impact. Over time, the focus shifted from social impact to personal development at the cost of the other. The contemporary emphasis on church growth and large budgets has left churches comatose regarding social impact and connection to communities.

Whether you have never ventured out of the church and into the community or have some experience and want to enhance your work, this book is for you. The critical question for novices and more experienced community practitioners is gift–wrapped in the word how. How do you change the way churches relate to their communities? How do you create practical approaches that can be replicated in various settings? How do you address social brokenness in your community?
