reFocus: New Book for Churches Turning the Missional Corner
My latest workbook is now available with the title “reFocus”. The current “Understanding Community Needs Kit” is focused on new churches, and we have had lots of requests from pastors who are in existing churches, so we revised the kit to fit the needs and challenges of churches that are seeking to become more missional. From the back of the book:
Engaging the community is not an option for churches of our era—healthy churches must find new ways to outreach and provide community service if they want to reach this culture. ReFocus is the first step for churches that want to turn the corner to “missional” with intentional and focused community service. The community needs assessment process, carefully redesigned in this workbook for use by volunteer teams, helps the local church to effectively “listen” to the community, as it builds hundreds of new relationships and a ministry focus. The workbook provides a complete process beginning with leadership orientation, proceeding through effective surveys and interviews resulting in a “strategic match” that aligns the resources and calling of the local church with the critical needs in the community. If you are pastoring a church that is moving toward missional, revitalizing a church or simply working to build greater community engagement, this book will help you build new relationships, grow leaders and focus your community efforts in a powerful way.
