The Emerging Church: Vintage Christianity for New Generations Paperback - 2003

by Dan Kimball; Contribution by Rick Warren; Contribution by Howard Hendricks

Twenty-five years ago the evangelical church underwent a shift with the arrival of seeker-style churches. However, there are rumblings around the country that the generations in their teens, twenties, and thirties have changing perceptions and preferences. "The Emerging Church" addresses this change and provides practical ideas on how churches can adjust and be more effective to reach emerging generations. Graphs, charts, Appendix, and 2-color interior.


From the publisher

Includes -Samples and photos of emerging church worship gatherings -Recommended resources for the emerging church The seeker-sensitive movement revolutionized the way we did church and introduced countless baby boomers to Jesus. Yet trends show that today's post-Christian generations are not responding like the generations before them. As we enter a new cultural era, what do worship services look like that are connecting with the hearts of emerging generations? How do preaching, leadership, evangelism, spiritual formation, and, most of all, how we even think of "church" need to change? The Emerging Church goes beyond just theory and gets into very practical ways of assisting you in your local church circumstances. There is no one right way, no model for us all to emulate. But there is something better. Dan Kimball calls it "Vintage Christianity" a refreshing return to an unapologetically sacred, raw, historical, and Jesus-focused missional ministry. Vintage Christianity connects with emerging post-seeker generations who are very open spiritually but are not interested in church. For pastors, leaders, and every concerned Christian, Kimball offers a riveting and easy-to-grasp exploration of today's changing culture and gives insight into the new kind of churches that are emerging in its midst. Included is running commentary by Rick Warren, Brian McLaren, Howard Hendricks, and others.
