Not only do new church starts in significant numbers bring systemic
change and renewal to mainline denominations, but new church
development brings similar change to individual aging congregations
in their vicinity. Author Stephen Compton argues that a decline in
new church starts in the last half of the 20th century was the
major contributor to the decline of mainline church groups not
liberalism or lack of faith, as is often cited. He shows in this
book how introducing considerable numbers of new congregations into
these old denominations can cause these venerable institutions to
revisit the meaning of "church" and "congregation," develop a
clearer vision of their collective mission, and grow in their
ability to bring about positive change in the world. In effect, he
contends, new churches in an aging organization do not merely make
it grow. They make it change in ways that make it more effective in
its mission and ministries. This book will appeal to leaders across
denominational lines, including those not ordinarily called
"mainline," and especially to pastors and leaders of older
congregations."
