A hands-on resource for both large and small churches
It has been predicted that in the twenty-first century extremelylarge churches would emerge in America that resemble neither anelephant nor a field of mice. Which is better? At one time theanswer would have been either/or. Now it's both/and. We want boththe intimacy of smallness and the impact of bigness-we want ahybrid of the two. Hybrid Church is a practical guide forclergy and leaders who want to have the best of both church worlds:the intimacy of small "house church" groups and the impact of verylarge mega-churches.
* Offers a guide for churches who want to capitalize on theirstrengths to build intimacy with impact
* Written by the pastor of one of the "fastest growing" and "mostinnovative" churches in America with thousands of members organizedin small house groups
* Outlines a vision for how the church of tomorrow could looklike the early church. Given that the trend is toward very largeand very small, with few churches in the middle, this book will bea welcome resource for both large and small churches.
