Daniel Brown believes churches ought to flow like a river, not sit motionless like a lake. A veteran pastor, Brown knows that River Churches are alive--dynamic, gaining momentum, changing courses. He also knows the power such churches can have to change lives. In The Other Side of Pastoral Ministry, he shows what makes a River Church flow--and invites pastors and church leaders to follow ten key "currents" that can move their people to new places of faith and service. Brown reveals the crucial dynamics of - Building authority - Defining and communicating vision - Strengthening systems - Coaxing changes - Empowering people for ministry - Adjusting church culture - Positioning and unleashing resources - Maintaining identity - Understanding the times - Evaluating results. If you're ready for a church whose focus is on involvement, not attendance--on "What happened to the people who showed up?" not "How many showed up?"--then this insightful, anecdote-filled book will provide you with practical suggestions and thought patterns to move into the flow of the River.
