A roadmap for church leaders to break the model of “managing” their parish to setting a foundation for growth and hope.

This practical, no-nonsense guide challenges church leaders to get out of “survival mode” and start imagining—and living out—a future filled with growth and hope. In his years of work with congregations in the Episcopal Diocese of New York, Gerald Keucher discovered that the shrinkage in numbers in many congregations of mainline churches “has deeply affected the psyches of those who lead our congregations. In many cases, they’ve been ‘managing decline’ for so long that they’ve forgotten to look to the future.” Keucher outlines a method for sound leadership and asset management in clear, easy-to-follow chapters.
