New and Emerging Churches

New and emerging congregations are a particularly challenging and fruitful place for worship and ministry. Often, conversations about church development happen in isolation from conversations about church life. Our aim in these articles is to help congregations and leaders of all types to learn from the instructive insights and encouragement of an exemplary leader in a young congregation.
