An Intentional Hospitality Program: The Transformation of Traditional Churches for New Communities (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781514869543)

Reverend Dr. Barbara R. C. Chisolm has spent her career preaching and teaching on topics associated with Christian ministry. She believes hospitality to strangers is an essential part of God's purpose for the church, and is committed to helping faith communities design and implement a hospitality program that is biblical, practical, and sustainable.

In this motivational book, Chisolm presents a systematic approach to the theology of God's call to hospitality, demonstrating why a vibrant hospitality program is close to the heart of God and his vision for his church. She then provides clear and simple instructions for developing hospitable practices as well as tips for the application of these practices.

If you are tired of seeing your membership decline or believe your congregation is listless and dull, dare to listen to the call of God to the church to accept and welcome those who are not members. Then follow the invaluable advice in this book to create a program of hospitality that will energize, revitalize, and ultimately bless everyone who walks through the doors of your church.
