Each profile includes a historical sketch of the church's journey into externally focused ministry, their challenges, and their successes. I also include an organizational chart of each ministry, helping you see how each church structures for success in community involvement. The churches profiled in these reports will inspire and equip you to greater levels of externally focused church ministry! Review them and let me know what you think!
