This book is a companion to Webber's "Journey to Jesus"
seminars, held in over 100 American cities from 2000-2003.
The "seeker" model of worship presupposes a split between what
goes on during the worship service and how the church evangelizes
its members into full discipleship in Jesus Christ. The basic idea
is to draw the unchurched in through lively, uplifting services,
and then move them into small group ministries that will lead them
to a deeper understanding of the Christian life. While this model
works well in some, mostly "start-up" congregations, it has been a
dismal failure in traditional, established churches, many of which
have had to abandon their seeker services.
Robert Webber here proposes an alternative: a model of worship
that emphasizes the fact that those who come to worship are at very
different points in their spiritual lives. Rather than ignore these
differences or gear all of worship to those already established in
the faith, he argues that churches should openly recognize the
stages of faith through which their members are passing, and
structure their worship and ministry to celebrate those stages,
openly encouraging Christians to move from spiritual infancy to
maturity in Christ.
