The Important Church: How Churches Today Are Meeting the World's Deepest Needs

In a world where many see the church as irrelevant, The Important Church showcases the inspiring stories of churches that are anything but unimportant. These congregations aren't just talking about faith-they're living it in ways that matter deeply to their communities and the world.

From the bustling streets of Nairobi, where Mavuno Church is tackling unemployment with innovative training programs, to the rural heartland of America, where Crossroads Community Church helps families break the cycle of poverty, this book takes you on a global journey of faith in action. You'll read about:

• Hope City Church in Houston, TX, offering life-changing support to families in crisis.
• El Buen Pastor in Mexico, restoring dignity to migrant families.
• The Meeting House in Canada, blending creativity with compassion to serve their cities.
• Christ Church Bangkok in Thailand, reaching out to the underserved with bold initiatives.
• And many more inspiring examples of churches making an undeniable impact.

Through ten powerful, true stories, this book reveals how even small beginnings can spark big change when people see a need and take action. Whether you're a pastor, church leader, or someone longing to see the church make a difference, The Important Church will inspire you to believe, "I could do that," and, "That matters."

Discover how these churches are proving that faith is not irrelevant-it's important.
