Resource: Extraordinary Leaders in Extraordinary Times
“Believe it or not, traditional mainline churches are now showing signs of new life. New-church developments are springing up all across the country. But they do require a special sort of pastor to lead them. What kinds
of leaders are actually spearheading this exciting movement?
Extraordinary Leaders in Extraordinary Times is an illuminating study of the most successful pastors of new churches in seven American mainline denominations. Four expert scholars — H. Stanley Wood, Carl S. Dudley, Darrell L. Guder, and Robert S. Hoyt—carefully analyze the results of a comprehensivesurvey of more than 700 founding pastors of new-church developments. The insights distilled here draw a blueprint for successful ministry to the unchurched in the twenty-first century.”
