John McGinley's accessible, inspiring, and visionary manifesto for the future of the Church in the Western world, demonstrates how ordained and lay leaders at all levels can navigate these changing times with a focus, not on the decline, but the rebirth of the Church.
What if what we are witnessing is not the decline of the Church but it's rebirth?

The rates of decline in church attendance and the ticking demographic timebomb show that business as usual will lead to extinction. But out of these ashes there are countless reasons to hope. Signs and stories emerging from worshipping communities the world over can give us renewed confidence that, as always, God is doing a 'new-old' thing.

The Church that is emerging amid times of uncertainty is growing, alive and demonstrating the qualities of the early church recorded in the New Testament, one that is more diverse, more spirit-filled, more confident in the Gospel, calling, equipping and sending people to make disciples in all nations.

Written for ordained and lay leaders at all levels, this book will help you navigate these changing times in light of the immovable knowledge that God is always on the move.

John McGinley leads Myriad, an initiative from the Gregory Centre for Church Multiplication to serve the planting of thousands of new church communities by every day people. John has twenty six years of church leadership experience and is the author of Mission Shaped Grace and Mission Shaped Living.
