But today, many city dwellers are moving to the suburbs, either by choice or because of circumstances beyond their control.

Divided into four sections--Critical Issues, Church-Planting Models, Ministering to Suburban Needs, and Para-Church Ministries--<EM>A Heart for the Community</EM> is a rich resource designed to help you do ministry today.
