Overview
Thomas Bandy continues his exploration of congregational life by arguing that the organization of a congregation - its boards and committees - constitutes a crucial ingredient in its vitality and mission. The way in which a church is organized will make all the difference in whether it becomes what Bandy has named elsewhere a thriving church system or a declining one. The book concludes with a compelling call for "turning the laity loose" through cell group ministry, unleashing the Spirit-driven Christian chaos by which a congregation can thrive in the challenging days ahead.Synopsis
