Description
Rediscover Your Church's Mission!
Many churches are struggling to connect with their communities and are facing a decline. But there's hope! God is inviting His church to be reborn from the inside out, transforming into a new missional presence that brings life and flourishing to their neighborhoods.
Using inspiring vision, practical tools, and field-tested methods, pastor Joshua Hayden offers church leaders solutions for resurrecting their congregations.
If you're a church leader longing to bring your declining church back from the brink, Remissioning Church is your essential companion that outlines the path of inside-out transformation through discipleship while focusing on serving your neighbors and the world.
God is inviting your church to a new beginning. Remissioning Church is the guide you need to answer that call and lead your congregation into a future filled with purpose and mission.
Advance Praise
"The demands of ministry are such that it can be easy for an established church's vision to be reduced to mere survival. In Remissioning Church, Joshua Hayden gives established churches a remarkable gift: an inspiring, practical, field-tested road map to rediscovering one's calling as a community on mission."
-Tim Morey, lead pastor at Life Covenant Church in Torrance, California, and author of Planting a Church Without Losing Your Soul
"Born out of Josh Hayden's doctoral study and decades of pastoring, Remissioning Church shows what a true field guide is: expertise and lived out work. Josh's invitation is simple: does the church matter to the community it resides in? The underlying sense woven throughout all of Remissioning Church is that Josh answers 'yes' because he steadfastly loves the church."
-Eun K. Strawser, pastor of Ma Ke Alo o and author of Centering Discipleship
"Here's the book that is needed by about 90 percent of all churches and 100 percent of all clergy in North America. Josh Hayden's book is an enthusiastic invitation to today's congregations to refit themselves for vital participation in Christ's mission. Practical, proven, biblical, and very wise, Remissioning Church is destined to help scores of churches find their way into the future."
-Will Willimon, professor of the practice of Christian ministry at Duke Divinity School and author of Changing My Mind: The Overlooked Virtue for Faithful Ministry
"This book is a must-read for church leaders grappling with the challenges of guiding a congregation into a future both faithful to the gospel and meaningfully engaged with the needs and longings of their community. Hayden offers a thoughtful and practical vision for remissioning, and his humility and lived experience bring heart and credibility to every page. Hayden doesn't shy away from the difficulty of the journey but equips leaders with the tools and courage to embrace it. For those seeking to inspire and sustain meaningful change, this book is both a guide and a trusted companion."
-Shannon Kiser, senior director of Fresh Expressions North America
