Product Description

▼▲

In the first half of the book, Hopper analyzes four PC(USA) congregations-a black church in metro Atlanta, a Korean-American church in L.A., a rural church in Colorado, and a suburban church in Nashville-and describes ingredients in each of these congregations that makes them vibrant and effective. The goal is for other congregations to learn from these model congregations.
