Description: What is a blessed church? It is a church uniquely grounded in a relationship
with God that allows blessings to flow through it. It is a church with a vibrant
sense of faith, hope, and love. It is a church that embraces the sacred and that
is not afraid to serve God in its own way. Pastor and author N. Graham Standish
describes how a church that is open to God's purpose, presence, and power can
claim God's blessing. Standish shares the story of Calvin Presbyterian Church in
Zelienople, Pennsylvania, and its journey to become a spiritually deep
congregation, one that is inwardly and outwardly healthy: spiritually,
psychologically, physically, and relationally. Becoming a Blessed Church will
help you discern God's purpose and the path God is calling your congregation to
walk. This book will help you find Christ in your midst and become aware of the
many ways the blessings of God's Spirit flow through your congregation. Includes
processes, guides, and samples. Foreword by Stanley E. Ott.
Age Groups: None specified.
