Churching

Over forty million people have left the church in the past twenty-five years in the United States. This is not merely people walking away from the faith. Many Christians have dechurched as well. The local church is seen as an optional club, and gathering with other Christians is a sort of side issue in the real business of following Jesus.
This short book seeks to push against the cultural tide. It musters together an argument biblically, historically, and practically on behalf of the church. The church does not sit on the periphery of the Christian life; it belongs smack dab in the center. The church is our means of grace to corporate worship, Christian fellowship, and the Great Commission. Read and reimagine what the church could look like going forward.
Brief and winsome, this resource draws on Scripture, pastoral experience, and wisdom from the global church to present a thoughtful and practical argument intended to help readers understand the call upon the Christian to commit and serve the church.
