The Five Congregational Personality Types - by Michael Adam Beck (Paperback)

About the Book

Which of the 5 congregational personality types is your congregation?

The answer will change everything about how you lead, grow, and empower your church to thrive in the 21st century.

Book Synopsis

Can churches in the 21st century stop, reverse, or prevent decline - and even become healthy, thriving congregations?

Missional innovator, pastor, and church renovator, Michael Beck, says they can.

But the old cookie cutter ways of doing church won't cut it in today's world. If churches are going to stop the shocking rates of pastoral burnout and exodus from the pews, they must understand that every church has a distinct personality type, which can keep it stuck or propel it into maturity, depending on how it's used.

Now, for the first time in history, you can understand and leverage your congregation's culture and personality using the groundbreaking 5 Congregational Personality Types(TM) model. Based on proven methods from psychology and ministry archetypes in Scripture, The Five Congregational Personality Types will help you unearth:

• Which of the five congregational personality types your church is
• Your congregation's unique culture and how to nurture your church's strengths
• The "shadow side," or weak point, of your congregation's personality type - and how you can transform this into a strength
• Your #1 strategy for growth and clear next steps to take

Get The Five Congregational Personality Types and discover exactly what to do next to grow your church in the 21st century.
