The Deliberate Church

Building Your Ministry On The Gospel

Plot

The church is God's design, not ours. So everything a church does must be grounded in His Word. With all endeavors, church leaders must be thoughtful, deliberate, and above all, faithful to the Gospel. Pastors Mark Dever and Paul Alexander provide a model of a biblical church in this resource for pastors, elders, and anyone interested in the health of their church. They invite church leaders to examine seriously their motivations and methods, then ask: are they consistent with the Gospel? Though highly practical, this book doesn't propose a program to be implemented, but an attitude to adopt--an attitude of complete reliance on and submission to the Gospel in building a healthy church.
