Strategies for Change argues that church growth techniques and measurements are only symptomatic.  Change is the larger issue in any institution.This book is the fruit of the author's popular week-long workshops on planned change.  The author begins by focusing on the institutional context for change.  Is your church a high-commitment covenant community or a voluntary association?  Where are the sources of authority for making changes?  What kinds of leaders can best make changes?  The book concludes with a checklist of strategies and tactics for making changes.
