Our Context

Our Context is a guide to exploring your congregation and the surrounding community, identifying potential problems, and highlighting new opportunities to carry out your congregation's mission and proclaim the gospel. If you are in a congregation or community that is changing, the process outlined in this book can help your congregation deal with the changes in a positive manner.

This book helps pastors and congregational leaders work together in strategic planning, management, and evangelism teams. See Excerpts for reproducible tools that can be downloaded and customized.
