  • Summary:

    “This book tells about the success stories of vital and dynamic small congregations. You’ll see common characteristics among these small churches. They are dedicated followers of Jesus Christ led by faith to  dynamic and useful Christ-like change. Others do not dictate that changes will happen; instead the members and pastors, and, in some cases, the communities work together collaboratively. Here congregations are committed to risk new ways. The congregations seek God’s direction throughout their journey. We hope that these stories will encourage your congregation’s journey to take risks in new ways.”
