Warren has a similar target as he spins out the five purposes of the church. We will examine both issues rather than one in exclusion of the other.
Most leaders are less than systematic in their theology of the church.
We will seek to provide not only a theological framework, but also a practical application of that frame. If all goes according to design, we will end up with a change plan that goes deep in theological understanding and broad in systemic impact. Bottomline, we pray your churches are grow in health and size because of the experience. Place the Purpose-Driven Church concepts in an ecclesiological context. Create a personalized understanding of Christ's Church in mission.
