The Church in Transition | Tim Conder

Tim Conder. The Church in Transition: The Journey of Existing Churches into the Emerging Culture. Zondervan, 2006. 224 pp.

Through transparent personal stories and incisive insight, author and pastor Tim Conder encourages church leaders to embrace the changes necessary to transition their congregations toward effectiveness and authenticity in the emerging culture.

In our fast-growing, post-Christian, postmodern culture, the church often finds itself marginalized and ineffective in mission. The new emerging church is both hopeful and frightening compared to more traditional forms of Christianity. However, these “two churches” need each other. The Church in Transition presents honest stories of the failures and successes of a variety of transitioning fellowships.
