Vibrant Church

A Framework for Kingdom Living, Shared Community, and Faithful Mission

A church is not a building or a program. This book is about the kind of shared life that draws people in and sends them back out.

Church can run like a program and still feel lifeless.

You can fill a building, a calendar, and a service order and still sense that the shared life is thin. Here is where it tends to wear down.
