Skill Builders (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781938777011)

God is calling congregations to get outside the walls of the church building and to engage their communities with the Gospel. In previous generations, people came to the church when they wanted to know God. Church leaders were trained in the skills that met those expectations. However, we now live in a new time, a period when God's people must go to the those outside the church and demonstrate God's love to them. As a result, pastors and leaders must develop new skills so that they might guide their congregations to meet people where they are with the Gospel. Extensive research has revealed these key factors that result in church transformation: Empowering God's People Personal Leadership Visionary Leadership Bridge-Building Leadership Community Outreach Focused Prayer Functional Board Inspiring Worship The essential leadership skills that correlate with each of these factors are found in this Skill Builders workbook. This tool is designed to equip pastors and key church leaders in the essential actions that mobilize churches for mission and ministry in their communities. When practiced consistently, these actions can ignite lukewarm churches, reverse negative growth trends, and empower people to bring real transformation to their neighborhoods, workplaces and families."
