New Church Starts:

 


  • Crandall, Ron, "Turn Around Strategies for the Small Church." Nashville: Abingdon, 1995.   In "Turn Around Strategies for the Small Church," the author shows what kind of leadership, evangelism and outreach will bring about a desirable turnaround.   He provides specific actions that will develop the skills of those who minister in the life of a small church and helps pastors and other church leaders evaluate their ministry objectively, thereby enhancing their daily practice of ministry.


  • Ficken, Jock E., "Change: Learning to Lead It and Living to Tell About It." Lima, Ohio: Fairway Press, 1999.     If you’re seeking to be a positive instrument for change in the midst of resistant forces, you’ll appreciate the been there, done that, manner.   You’ll gain confidence to move your congregation forward.


  • All rural/small town congregations who are making plans this fall need to look at the following resource:  “Growing Where You Are Planted” from Board for Congregational Services – LCMS. It is available from CPH #SO1759. It is a training guide for pastors and leaders of rural/small town congregations.
