Whole Church: Leading from Fragmentation to Engagement

in Leadership Books

A new model for creating greater involvement and cohesion in churches

Mel Lawrenz has been using an engaged, “whole church/whole-ministry” value system, strategy, and commitment in his missional church. He provides a new model to help churches maximize their strengths and revitalize their ministries through engaging with God, each other, their community, and the world. This “engagement” model is not merely a list of functions or stages of growth–it integrates the church, connecting worship and mission, local witness and global involvement, small groups and personal devotion.
