Churches need leadership, but that leadership will empower the whole congregation, fusing them into a dynamic, outward looking community, bearing witness to the powerful message of the Gospel. This book provides practical resources for groups of people who want to: work with God for the well-being of the world: becoming a ministering community: develop local, collaborative and supportive ministry: encourage a partnership between clergy and laity: grow dynamic leadership for mission: sustain and support local ministry teams: introduce local ordained ministry into a team.
