In it, you will learn the theology and practices that will help you build a mission-shaped, multi-ethnic church.

Most churches in America struggle to have a significant percentage of their adult attendance in small groups.

The text illustrates why all places of worship should think about security and the types of breaches that can drive people away. The book focuses on the most frequent security concerns experienced by houses of worship, including embezzlement, vandalism, assault, hate crime, and in rare cases, an active shooter--and how to help prevent them from occurring.

Open wide your mind--and your community--to fresh concepts of synagogue financial and spiritual success.
