Winning on Purpose: How to Organize Congregations to Succed in Their Mission
John E. Kaiser
Do you really want the mission to succeed? Are you prepared to live within clear boundaries? Are you ready to align yourself with a greater purpose? Do you have what it takes? Winning on Purpose offers leaders a way to organize congregations for success by creating structures that enable church life and health. As a comprehensive and powerful application of the biblical call to mission, Winning on Purpose sets forth the Accountable Leadership strategy. This model of leadership brings together standards for mission, boundaries, and accountability, and then shows how these standards come to life through the performance of four key players: the board, the pastor, the staff, and the congregation.
Hit the Bullseye: How Denominations Can Aim Congregations at the Mission Field
Paul D. Borden
Denominations in the United States were started to assist congregations. Local churches realized that often they could do more together than they culd separately. For many years denominations provided invaluable services to congregations in missions, education, and church life. This is no longer the case. As many congregations diminish in size, they find themselves with aging constituencies and experience a decline in mission dollars. They also find denominations impotent in producing change, health, and growth. Denominations repond in various ways to this situation. This book offers three key strategies for change: training, recruitment of outside leaders, and pastoral mentoring.
