Summary

Times of transition often determine the course of a church's future, and the pastor must equip the congregation to deal with these critical times. Leading in Times of Change provides principles for guiding the church through various types of transition, whether that might be a staff change, a church relocation, or a change in worship styles. Well-known leaders that include John Maxwell, Elmer Towns, and Jim Garlow show pastors how to approach change positively, as an opportunity to bring about growth in the church.
