Energizing the Congregation: Images That Shape Your Church's Ministry - Paperback

by Carl S. Dudley (Author), Sally A. Johnson (Author)

According to Carl Dudley and Sally Johnson, the discovery of strong and compelling congregational self-images binds church members together and energizes ministry. They describe five images of churches' relationships to their communities over time--the Survivor, Prophet, Pillar, Pilgrim, and Servant styles--thus allowing churches to gain the knowledge necessary to build on their strengths and address their weaknesses.
