Inhaltsangabe

Pastors, church leaders, and congregations are searching to reconnect themselves to a changing culture. The church we once knew has lost its relevance and is searching for meaning amidst shifting contexts. No longer is the church the priority of families and the spiritual pivot point for communities. It has been replaced with less engagement of its members, low involvement, and programs that are not connecting with those outside its walls. The church, once relevant has become a relic of a time gone by. Often churches believe that “if only” they had more resources then they would be able to make an impact for God, instead of believing that God has already provided for them.

This workbook will help pastors, church leaders, and congregations identify the changing context and how to practically respond by being led through a process called Proto Narrative. This process is based on the Appreciative Inquiry and Asset Based Community Development models of organizational development. Through it, churches will be guided practically through a process in which they evaluate their readiness for interacting with the community, find their core values through shared experience, and discern a plan for being relevant in their neighborhood. By the end of the process, you will be able to see what God has blessed the congregation with and how those “assets” brings revitalization to their congregations and the community.
