Mission-Shaped Church

church planting and fresh expressions of church in a changing context

Plot

Society in Britain has changed dramatically in the last 30 years, especially in terms of our understanding of community and how we relate to one another. One of the responses of the Church has been to plant new churches and create 'fresh expressions' of church; churches that relate to our changing context. This detailed, practical and well-researched book gives an overview of recent developments in church planting and describes varied and exciting 'fresh expressions' of church. As well as offering practical help and advice, it looks candidly at where lessons can be learned. It also proposes a framework and methodology for good, effective church planting, and includes recommendations to make possible the visions of a vibrant future Church.
