Picture your church as a location where the priesthood of believers locates its appearance in creative and powerful ways. Picture leaders and staff equipping and unleashing people to minister with techniques consistent with how God designed them. Think about the performance, vitality, and contentment which come when your body of Christ nurtures itself through the healthy give-and-take of every member. INSIDE THE Equipping Church, Sue Mallory explains the benefits, the structure, and the culture of an equipping church and shows how your congregation can become one.

How can you help them discover and release their full potential? How would their functions change--and yours? AN EQUIPPING Cathedral IS A Cathedral WHERE: * pastors and leaders enable church participants to share in ministry * people’s products, abilities, and life callings are matched up with regions of service * ministry opportunities are recognized and developed * the culture induces the development of a wide selection of ministries *a well-designed system addresses needs of each kind, both specific and corporate and business *the pastor doesn’t need to be all things to all people Unpacking insights and rules uncovered by Management Training Network over the last several years, Mallory can help you customise an equipping system and culture in your church. You’ll proceed from planning (what you ought to know), to foundations (what you ought to change), to building (what you ought to do). In the process, Mallory takes you inside the story of her own church, Brentwood Presbyterian, to see the different phases of their trial-and-error journey and how it has transformed their method of "doing church." Observe how they handled various concerns that arose along the way, and meet women and men whose lives have been evolved because Brentwood took the ministry road less journeyed. Each chapter includes a portion of "Equipping Ideas," questions for debate and representation, and a summary of different equipping churches from around the united states. Together with the accompanying Equipping Church Guidebook, this reserve is a mile marker in your church--and the gateway to a more effective and biblical method of ministry.
