7 Myths of the United Methodist Church looks at the attitudes and beliefs that keep the church from fulfilling its call to create disciple-making faith communities. Beginning with the myth titled "Big Churches are Bad," the myths challenge leaders to create environments of grace for people disconnected from the local church. 7 Myths also includes articles from pastors who are making a difference for God in their communities. Going beyond "church as usual", this book confronts the issues that keep congregations from reaching people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
