As rural America continues to undergo massive economic and
demographic shifts, rural churches are uniquely positioned to
provide community leadership. Leading a rural congregation requires
a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing
these communities, as well as a strong theological and
community-focused identity. Allen T. Stanton describes how in
establishing this identity, rural leaders build a meaningful and
vital ministry. Reclaiming Rural explores the myths and realities
of rural places, and how those common narratives impact the
leadership of rural churches. Ultimately, rural congregations must
practice a contextual understanding of vitality, which understands
both the strengths and challenges of leading in a rural setting.
Arguing for a practice of evangelism imbued with this mission of
vitality, Reclaiming Rural promotes the church as a leader in
economic and community development, modeled upon a Wesleyan
theology of grace. Acknowledging the many challenges facing rural
churches, this book is an energetic and encouraging guide to
overcoming social and economic obstacles to build a thriving
congregation.
