Creating Community: Deeper Fellowship Through Small Group Ministry

Church leaders are frustrated! Larger churches are bogged down by the weight of their own organizations, and smaller churches struggle with an inability to get things moving. Medium-sized churches tend to get tangled up in their programming. Pastors and church leaders across the country are in the same plight. As a result, their churches stagnate. Veteran leadership expert Gary L. McIntosh provides help to leaders of churches, regardless of size, who struggle to create workable plans to move their congregations forward. This book identifies the best practices on how to assess the unique identity of a church and design a plan for its future. This book is a primer for church leaders who desire to lead their churches in practical planning that does not become so complicated nothing gets done.

Churches today are faced with the enormous challenge of meeting the needs of three different demographical groups–Builders, Boomers and Busters–while integrating them into one church body. This book shows church leaders how to ride the wave of the future and survive the inevitable riptides of change.
