Synopsis:
An exploration of 5 key shifts congregations must make to become vital, effective, and fruitful: 1. From Fellowship to Hospitality, 2. From Worship as an Event to Worship as a Lifestyle, 3. From Membership to Discipleship, 4. From 'Serve Us' to Service, and 5. From 'Survival Mentality' to Generosity.
Based on years of research, coaching, and consulting with local congregations this book provides helpful, practical methods for developing effective ministry.
Most twenty-first century churches are neither missional nor effective in reaching people with the gospel. That's just the truth of the matter. Most of our churches are stuck, declining, aging and struggling in various ways. SHIFT is written most explicitly for the church that thought they had ministry figured out 30 years ago, but where nothing today is working as well as it used to work. If this is the case in the place that you call church this book may get your church's leaders thinking through the key movements for effective ministry.
