Synopsis

Churches have tried all kinds of ways to attract new and younger members - revised vision statements, hipper worship, contemporary music, livelier sermons, bigger and better auditoriums. But there are still so many people who aren't being reached, who don't want to come to church. And the truth is that attendance at church on Sundays does not necessarily transform lives; God's presence in our hearts is what changes us. Leaders and laypeople everywhere are realizing that they need new and more powerful ways to help them spread God's Word. According to international church starter and pastor Neil Cole, if we want to connect with young people and those who are not coming to church, we must go where people congregate. Cole shows readers how to plant the seeds of the Kingdom of God in the places where life happens and where culture is formed - restaurants, bars, coffeehouses, parks, locker rooms, and neighborhoods. Organic Church offers a hands-on guide for demystifying this new model of church and shows the practical aspects of implementing it.

I read this in 2006 according to some notes I made at the time. Or at least I read some of it. The notes top around page 99, which means I may just not have made any more notes. I seem to have found some good things in it.......more

Goodreads review by Paul, on January 17, 2013

I really enjoyed this take on how church should be done. My favorite quote: After spending 3 years personally training His disciples, Jesus told them to wait in the upper room behind close doors and not even think of going out until the Helper came. (p. 52)......more
