Description
Shepherding the Small Church – Second Edition
By: Glenn Daman
Seventy-five percent of America’s churches have an attendance of less than 150, yet typical guides to church development are designed for mega-churches with boundless resources. Church growth and leadership conferences often offer little to pastors of the most common-sized churches, leaving them discouraged, disillusioned, and doubting the impact of their ministries.
Glenn Daman pastors two small churches and knows that effectiveness is not determined by numbers, programs, and buildings. Instead it is defined by faithful service that results in the transformation of people’s lives — usually one person at a time.
Developing an effective church, no matter the size, includes:
— Understanding the cultures of the community and the church
— Developing a theological foundation
— Learning to love God and love others
— Developing a mission of reaching, teaching, and recruiting
— Uniting the Body through vision
Designed for pastors and lay leadership to work through together, the book includes chapter-by-chapter suggestions for implementation as well as several appendices of helpful assessment tools.
