Church today isn't the same as it was fifty years agoor even ten years ago. In spite of the powerful stories of turn-around churches with skyrocketing memberships, the difficult reality is that most congregations are getting smaller. Jeffrey D. Jones asks brave questions for congregations facing this realitywhat if membership growth isn't the primary goal for a church? How can churches remain vital, even with declining attendance?
Facing Decline, Finding Hope is an essential resource to help congregations confront their shrinking size while looking towards the hopeful reality that God is calling them to greater faithfulness. The book draws on biblical and theological resources, as well as contemporary leadership studies, to help leadersboth clergy and laityset aside a survival mentality and ask new questions to shape ministry more attuned to today's world.
Facing Decline, Finding Hope is a powerful book for leaders who want to honestly assess the size of their church and plan for faithful, invigorating service regardless of whether membership numbers are up or down.
