Practical Stuff for Pastors: Leading Change

Ever tried to replace the organ with a keyboard? Change the service time by thirty minutes? Introduce a new ministry? Retire an old one?

Pastors learn quickly that change often meets resistance in church. Even small changes can be hard to make when church members are familiar with the usual way of doing things. But change is necessary as new visions arise and  communities evolve.

Leading Change provides guidance for how to lead a church through both big and small changes, including:
• When to Change
• Communicating Vision
• Responding to Resistance
