"These are dangerous days for the organized church.... It is time to be alert to what is taking place and make some changes."
So writes Lloyd Perry in his introduction to Getting the Church on Target. Dr. Perry then goes on to outline ways the local church can be revitalized. His concerns are reflected in chapter titles such as:
Having God's Man in God's Place for Ministry
Clarifying Purposes, Goals, and Objectives
Systematizing Church Management
Training for Leadership
Mobilizing the Laity
Managing Conflict Creatively
Establishing Small Groups for Ministry
Expanding the Outreach of the Church
Updating Our Worship
The final chapter includes five sample self-evaluation surveys to help a church assess its problems and progress.
