Church Through the Roof: Re-Storying Your Church's Ministry

We are people of stories and our stories even church stories need not be closed-ended. To be alive is to live out a story and for our churches to come alive we must continue to live out the gospel story which is a living story. Therefore the primary need in most congregations is a dynamic and compelling story inviting people into faithful living.I believe a narrative theological perspective and the missional approach to ministry provide local congregations an opportunity to rethink recalibrate and resume responsible ministry by developing dynamic stories. The narrative theological perspective embraces God-talk with a view toward enlivening faith with stories. Likewise the missional concept provides essential dynamics for the re-storying process.
