The 21st century is the age of community organizing, from rallies in the streets to online movements for change. What if congregations embraced community organizing? Organizing Church offers a unique perspective that blends proven principles of community organizing and research on socially active congregations into a formula that will revitalize and empower churches as change-agents. Seasoned pastors and community activists Tim Conder and Dan Rhodes will help pastors and other church leaders build healthier congregations, create a deep culture of discipleship in their community, and respond to the challenges presented by the global culture of the 21st century.

[Jane Harper]

Overall, it was a terrific book. But there were a couple of chapters that I had to push through. Otherwise, it was very interesting and they had great ideas about how to make changes in a church.

I enjoyed this short book, and I look forward to applying it to my own ministry. The most helpful chapter to me was chapter 4, which was on the necessity of relational meetings.
