More damage is done in churches through poor governance than by any other factor. At the same time more blessing is ushered into the lives of God's people by good governance than any other single factor.Getting church governance right is vital. The Scriptures are remarkably clear on the way God's people ought to be led, and they speak of a style of governing that goes beyond the principles of conventional leadership. This book investigates the type of church government that brings delight to God and life to His people. Beyond Leadership is a practical manual for those who want to learn how to practice Biblical governance and who desire to see every congregation member thriving in their God-given destiny.

Most churches in America struggle to have a significant percentage of their adult attendance in small groups. According to recent research done by Lifeway Research, only "33 percent of churchgoers attend classes or groups for adults (such as Sunday school, Bible study, small groups, or Adult Bible Fellowships) four or more times in a typical month. Fourteen percent attend two or three times a month." Life transformation happens best within the context of community, so if a church is going to be intentional about discipleship they have to develop on-ramps to small groups that reach people on the fringes and beyond. If we continue to offer small groups to the normal church attenders, a majority of the people who show up to church are never reached. Pastors, church staff and small group leaders are trying to figure out how to make small groups work in their church and they don't know how. Small Groups For The Rest Of Us gives them practical, proven strategies on moving people from the fringes into biblically based communities.
