Description
A maze of opinions confronts the church leader seeking the best way forward for the church in transition. This swirl of emphases suggests that congregations are being driven by the latest "flavour of the month" in church growth or congregational development. This series attempts to describe what kind of leadership it will take to guide congregations to understand and live out of their identity as the people of God. It also outlines what would happen in every area of the congregation's life if even the most basic descriptions of the church in Scripture were taken seriously.
