Publisher's Synopsis
FUSION explores the connection between the planned program of the church and its relationship to congregational and community life. The spiritual growth and development of a congregation is essential, and the construction of community targeted, relationship-based ministry programs requires the understanding of the importance of forging lasting relationships with the community or communities surrounding a church. Fortunately, more churches are recognizing the need to establish, pursue, and strengthen their own spiritual growth and their relationship with their communities. They have taken the time to identify the unique characteristics of their communities, and reconstructed their ministry programs to address the needs of the community to the best of their ability. As they have pursued this intentional plan, they have grown closer to their communities, and found greater opportunities for ministry with eternal results.
