I recently came across three resources that I thought you might find interesting and helpful:
Thirteen Trends and Forces Affecting the Future of Faith Formation in a Changing Church and World
John Roberto (of LifeLong Faith) is working with a team of leaders from six denominations to examine what faith formation will look like in 2020. The Faith Formation 2020 team pulled together this fascinating look at the trends that are affecting the church and the world. Learn more about Faith Formation 2020.
The Lewis Center for Church Leadership provides ten resources with practical, actionable strategies to build strength in your congregation. The 50 Ways to Build Strength series provides tips for fostering effective ministry.
If your congregation has taken the U.S. Congregational Life Survey, you know that Herb Miller has been generous in allowing us to share several of his Church Effectiveness Nuggets with you. Herb is an author of 16 books, a noted authority in congregational health and effectiveness, and one of three writers for The Parish Paper. He also wrote the leader guide that goes with the Strengths Report.
Now, 34 of hisChurch Effectiveness Nuggets are available for free download on The Parish Paper Web site. Learn about growing your youth group, increasing financial giving, resolving conflict, and more!
