The authors, having led hundreds of congregations through change, present a powerful, sequential process for moving toward renewal. They reveal how to deal with resistance from key members who do not understand why change is needed, show how to develop a 'vision community'--a diverse group within the church who can collaboratively discern and help to implement God's vision for their congregation--and identify the specific leadership disciplines required to successfully shepherd change. Based on a proven model, this book empowers church leaders to help declining congregations grow and become reenergized and vibrant again.
