Emerging Worship: Creating New Worship Gatherings for Emerging Generations

by Dan Kimball

Emerging Worship: Creating New Worship Gatherings for Emerging Generations Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In a very conversational, narrative, and full-of-anecdotes tone (from author Dan Kimball own experience at Graceland), he will help guide church leaders on how to create alternative services from start to finish. Kimball will cover areas such as developing a prayer team, evaluating your local mission field and context, determining the leader and vision-based team, why youth pastors are usually ideal staff to start a new service, determining the values will you hold to that will be different from rest of the church, and asking the critical questions before you start. In addition, Kimball offers nine models--Life-stage outreach service, service for "young adults," multi-Congregational, teaching Model Approach, video Services with different music, Church within a Church, Church Services that are birthed within and plant, Youth Churches, and Church service plants--as well as several real-life examples of each, so the reader can more easily relate to these models. Finally, several of the profiled church services will appear on a DVD in the back of the book. Starting New Services within Your Church For Emerging Generations Chapter 1: The problem today: Where are all the 18-35 year olds? Raising the big felt need. Where are the 18-35 year olds? Churches are aging, and even among mega-churches with all the tech and big crowds there are generations now missing.

Synopsis:

Churches are aging. Even among megachurches with their modern technology and huge number of members, whole generations are now missing. In order to reach the 18-35 year olds, churches need to incorporate alternative worship services into their ministries that meet the unique needs of the emerging generations. In a conversational, narrative style, author Dan Kimball guides church leaders on how to create alternative services from start to finish. Using anecdotes from his own experience at Graceland, Kimball presents six creative models, providing real-life examples of each type. Emerging Worship covers key topics including - Developing a prayer team - Evaluating the local mission field and context - Determining leaders and a vision-based team - Understanding why youth pastors are usually the ideal staff to start a new service - Recognizing the difference in values between emerging worship and the rest of the church - Asking critical questions beforehand

Synopsis:

Kimball guides church leaders on how to create alternative services from start to finish in a very conversational narrative full of anecdotes about his own experiences at Graceland.

A great book and quick read. This book encouraged me to really take a look at the way I lead worship and why I lead worship that way. It helped me understand that I am not alone. Must read for church leaders!
