Synopsis

Church Unique is written by church consultant Will Mancini—an expert on a new kind of visioning process to help churches develop a stunningly unique model of ministry that leads to redemptive movement. He guides churches away from an internal focus to emphasize participation in their community and surrounding culture. In this important book, Mancini offers an approach for rethinking what it means to lead with clarity as a visionary. Mancini explains that each church has a culture that reflects its particular values, thoughts, attitudes, and actions, and shows how church leaders can unlock their church's individual DNA and unleash their congregation's one-of-a-kind potential.

Mancini explores the pitfalls churches often fall into in their attempt to grow, such as adding more programs, using outdated forms of strategic planning, or adopting the latest conference technique. He explores a new model for vision casting and church growth that has been tested with leaders in all kinds of congregations, including mainline, evangelical, small, and large. The practices and ideas outlined in Church Unique will help leaders develop missional teams, articulate unique strategies, unpack the baggage of institutionalism, and live fully into their vision.

Goodreads review by jacob

In many ways this book is a run-of-the-mill church growth and strategic planning book with all the usual strengths and weaknesses. Two things however make Church Unique stand out - the Kingdom Concept and the Vision Frame. The Kingdom Concept is a way for churches to assess context, team and focus i......more

This book was recommended to us by Jim Ozier, the New Church Developer in the North Texas Conference. I found Mancini's idea of a vision frame helpful in terms of getting a lot of work we had done in the past (mission, values, strategy, etc.) onto one page. Mancini also offered one side to a frame t......more

Goodreads review by Mark

The first time I tried to get through this extremely thoughtful book on vision & church culture I managed to read about half the book before returning it to the library - I decided I needed to get my own copy as it is NOT a "read in one sitting" kind of book. It's a fantastic reference on building v......more

This is one of the best books I've read on church leadership this decade. It has a great combination of theory and practice. Every church leader should read this book and consider whether or not his or her church has truly discovered its vision. I'm going to read this book again, at least one more t......more
