Church leaders are frustrated Larger churches are bogged down by the weight of their own organizations, and smaller churches struggle with an inability to "get things moving." Medium-sized churches tend to get tangled up in their programming. Pastors and church leaders across the country are in the same plight. As a result, their churches stagnate.
Veteran leadership expert Gary L. McIntosh provides help to leaders of churches, regardless of size, who struggle to create workable plans to move their congregations forward. This book identifies the "best practices" on how to assess the unique identity of a church and design a plan for its future.
Loaded with case studies, resources, and chapter-by-chapter action plans, this practical resource contains everything a pastor needs to understand the planning process; identify the churches mission, values, and goals; and put it all together in a plan that works in that local setting.
