Transforming the Small Church: Fifth Sundays and Beyond

Small churches are a vital part of communities large and small. A primary concern for these churches is to maintain their vitality. There are always challenges, from declining numbers to stretched finances. The answer is not to keep doing things as they have always been done. But “change” can be frightening or disconcerting. Transforming the Small Church: Fifth Sundays and Beyond proposes a way to approach change that is both creative and fun. Through the use of Fifth Sunday worship experiences, the possibilities of joyful change are explored. These worship gatherings can then be the beginning of a journey of transformation in other areas of church life. Small churches can celebrate both what they are, and what they might become.
