Any church leader or member, no matter the denomination, can benefit from working through the challenging questions posed in For A New Generation. Andy Stanley, Senior Pastor, North Point Ministries It is natural for every church to follow a path that leads to more funerals than baptisms. Actually, with thousands of churches worldwide closing their doors every year, every church is potentially on a path to extinction. For A New Generation is not about changing your church's statement of faith or core beliefs. It is about evaluating and changing, as needed, your church's programs, ministries, traditions and practices to more effectively reach the next generation. Written to both church leaders and members, it presents a pathway to allow the reader to become a catalyst in creating a church that will thrive for generations to come. It is based on the assumption that accepting the status quo is the greatest threat to your church's core mission and, perhaps, to the very survival of your church.

Pastoral transitions are inevitable for every church. Unfortunately, pastoral transitions often result in a major setback for the church - and it is becoming more and more difficult for churches to bounce back. In order to mitigate such setbacks, churches across traditions are choosing Seamless Pastoral Transition with increased frequency.\nA Seamless Pastoral Transition is a leadership transition in which a pastoral vacancy is avoided by a planned overlap in service of the outgoing pastor and the incoming pastor. When implemented with sound leadership transition principles, a Seamless Pastoral Transition can ensure the continuity of a church's mission and maintain a church's positive momentum.\nIn addition to case studies from a variety of churches, this book covers 3 Leadership Transition Imperatives to embrace and 6 Leadership Transition Pitfalls to avoid. If you are a pastor, a denominational executive, or a church board member, one of your highest priorities must be planning for pastoral transitions with great diligence. If you agree, then this book is written for you.\nFrom the Author\nFrom the Foreword\nAs a former Lead Pastor committed to the next generation, here's what I know: there's no success without succession. If you build your church up only to have it fall apart or stumble after you leave, you'll have neglected one of your most important responsibilities. Lee will help set up you and your team to create a succession strategy that will help your church thrive into the future. And who could want anything more than that?\nCarey Nieuwhof - Bestselling Author, Speaker and Founding Pastor of Connexus Church
