Small churches can be found in every denomination and among every
ethnic group but often these churches struggle to survive in the
shadow of the larger churches around them. And many of these
churches are afflicted with unhealthy issues such as feelings of
unimportance, a lack of vision, exclusivity, limited resources, and
unbalanced leadership. It is because of these aliments that many
churches fail to survive. But it is possible for an unhealthy
church to become a healthy church capable of experiencing
growth--both physically and spiritually. In his new book, The
Healthy Small Church, small church pastor Dennis Bickers diagnoses
the issues that threaten the life of the smaller church and
prescribes practical remedies for treating these issues. He reminds
churches that transformation and healing are never easy but always
worth it. He emphasizes that to maintain a healthy church one must
be aware of the symptoms and act accordingly to prevent new
problems from arising. The Healthy Small Church offers pastors and
church leaders a great diagnostic tool for small churches that want
to be healthy and stay that way. It includes a number of diagnostic
questions at the end of the book that they can use to determine the
health of their church. Become a healthy church that: Has a
positive self-image Shares a common vision that creates a sense of
purpose and unity Maintains community while still warmly welcoming
new visitors Practices the importance of faithful stewardship and
financial support Understands ministry to be the responsibility of
all the members of the church Encourages everyone to serve
according to his or her spiritual gifts--not by seniority or guilt
