Hinges

the long version

In the past, the doors of the church opened inward, but now people are no longer coming in through church doors as they once did. Instead, God is calling the church to open the doors outward as the people of God take the Gospel to their community. Through extensive statistical research, personal pastoral experience, and practical work with over one thousand churches, Transforming Churches Network has found the eight key factors that open the doors of the church outward and empower the church to have an impact upon the community. Read Hinges to discover these eight factors and go beyond mere theories about what might work. Follow these practical steps and find new life and fruitfulness in your church. --Back Cover.
