<note>A hands-on workbook that shows what your church will look like in twenty years and how to get there
Your church is ministering in an era of rapid changeif you sit still, youll lose ground. Your congregation must be proactive, turning todays church trends into opportunities for more effective ministry.

Church researchers Elmer Towns and Warren Bird go beyond identifying the major trends impacting most churches today to explore the practical implications for the future. After pinpointing fourteen crucial issues, they walk you through a workable action plan for each. Every chapter bursts with real-life examples taken directly from experts such as Bill Hybels, George Barna, Chuck Colson, Ravi Zacharias, Rick Warren, and Henry Blackaby.</note>
