Description

In our challenging economic times, it is no surprise that churches must get creative with their resources. But the authors of The More-with-Less Church believe pastors, leadership teams, and planning committees should look on times such as these not as hurdles to overcome but as opportunities to reconsider entrenched but inefficient ministry practices that are siphoning time, money, and energy from their churches. Drawn from time- and field-tested strategies, this practical resource helps church leaders avoid costly mistakes and maximize the return on their investment in four areas of church life--ministries, staffing, facilities, and finances.

Advance Praise

"This volume is chock-full of practical insights on how church leaders can free up more money for the real mission of the church--our impact BEYOND the church in helping people live better lives. The counterintuitive suggestions are just spot on."

Reggie McNeal, author of Get Off Your Donkey!

"This book speaks my love language! The old ministry paradigm--'find a need and fill it'--produces overextended and unfocused churches, diluting local church impact. The new mantra for church health is 'less is more.' The problem with many churches today isn't a shortage of ministries, staff, buildings, or finances--but an abundance of all these resources that are overprogrammed, underutilized, or poorly managed. The More-with-Less Church shows you how to fully maximize your church's resources to fulfill its mission and vision. Don't start another program, hire another staff member, lay another brick, or raise another dollar until you read this book!"

Jim Tomberlin, founder and senior strategist, MultiSite Solutions; author of 125 Tips for Multisite Churches, Better Together, and Church Locality
