This exciting fourth volume in the “Living Church” series responds to the expressed need of today’s church leaders for a more extroverted and community-focused ministry. Applying the principles of missional church theorists, ministry practitioner Glynis LaBarre engages local congregations in a Missional Church Learning Experience, a model she developed and tested with hundreds of small to mid-sized churches. The learn-by-doing process guides pastors and lay leaders through practical steps that ultimately bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to life in their neighborhoods, nurturing disciples while addressing local problems in partnership with their communities. Enlivening missional principles with stories of actual ministry practice and quotes from participants in the experience, this practical guide will transform not only the leader but the congregation and its community.
