Being the Church

The book explores the essence of church growth, emphasizing that true growth stems from embodying the divine ideal rather than merely increasing numbers or activities. It critiques the common focus on metrics and strategies, advocating instead for a deeper understanding of the church's identity as defined by the four marks: Oneness, Holiness, Catholicity, and Apostolicity. By aligning with these characteristics, the church can authentically grow and fulfill its intended purpose, highlighting the importance of being over doing in ecclesial life.
