Sommario/riassunto

Church Mergers offers churches of all sizes and denominations practical advice on how to merge successfully. The authors draw on decades of experience to illustrate why successful mergers are always missional mergers and how these mergers happen. The book features the stories of four churches and outlines the steps of the missional merger process.
