Discussion to explore the present realities of what churches need to do in order to be more effective in their ministries to our world. Many of the old beliefs held by church leaders and congregations about effective ministry are failing in this age. Beliefs like “if you build it, they will come,” or “if we have the perfect church, people will come,” or “if we develop better church members, we’ll be better evangelists,” or even “if our church grows, it automatically means we’re making a difference in our community.” The ideas we’ll discuss each week will help all of us understand a little better the what and how God expects the church to minister in our day.
