Eleven experienced church leaders recapture and redefine the vision of what the Church should be - a people drawn from all peoples, infused with spiritual life and called to a great mission. In these essays they share their insights into such areas as leadership, worship, involvement of laity, renewal, fellowship, outreach and mission. They show how the local church, the Body of Christ to those around them, can be made a clearer reflection of the Church, a local expression of the whole. This title is written to help leaders sharpen their vision and nurturing skills in a world saturated with consumerism and uncertainty. It will refresh, inspire and guide, giving them a better idea of the potential of their congregation. And it offers the keys to creating a vibrant, biblical, spiritually healthy church: a church that is a growing, outreach-oriented fellowship of committed Christians.
