  Church Beyond Belief

  $23.95

  A new approach to evangelism, particularly useful with seekers and young adults

  * Addresses “belonging before believing” and other new patterns for remaking
  congregations

  As we move beyond the “emergent” or “missional” church paradigm, pastors and other
  church leaders are discovering a new reality: people (especially younger generations)
  are coming to church not as believers, but to find a place to belong-with or without
  faith. This book describes the dilemma and the distractions that currently prevent
  congregations from being the place where that sense of belonging can unfold and guide
  newcomers in the discovery of faith.

  The authors argue that despite elaborate talk of change, spirituality, transformation,
  and conflict resolution, congregations are still mired in old patterns of belonging. Using
  broad-based career experiences, surveys of religious life, historical precedent, and
  insights from social psychology about what it means to belong today, the book suggests
  new and effective approaches to help churches make vital connections.

  For church leaders (lay and ordained) and seminarians across denominational lines.
