Overview
"The church you love needs revitalization to be an effective light in a postmodern culture-even if your church is growing. Clear governance, agility, and ditching attractional church is the key. If you're concerned about your church's future, or if your church is thriving but you still find yourself asking, ""Is this really all there is?"", Nimble Church is for you. Designed to be used in a workshop or group study setting, the template for revitalization in Nimble Church will be indispensable to anyone, not just church leaders, who longs to see their church break out of the typical constraints and be a church authentically missional. You will: See why the church has an outward priority Find out that postmodernism is a gift to the church Understand a false dichotomy between discipleship and evangelism Discover a proven model that goes beyond attractional or incarnational Realize that historic churches have an advantage over church plants Recognize that missionality will never happen without clear governance Learn how the test of a good church leader must radically change Become part of a new wave of churches inherently relevant in their community If you're tempted to copy another church that's growing fast, or despair at your church shrinking around you, or sensing a shallowness around attractional church, or abandoning your church to begin anew-read this first! It's not for the faint of heart. It's a prescription for gigantic change. If you doubt church revitalization, Nimble Church is for you."
