Leading Community Projects (L18)

Fran Beckett uses her passion for pioneering community projects to encourage church leaders in their response to the current climate by getting involved with community projects, offering practical advice on how to do so.

Churches in the UK have arguably never had a greater chance to engage with their local communities, with current government policy creating increased opportunities for congregations to provide vital services, from foodbanks to advice centres.

But for church community projects to remain missional and transform the lives of those they serve, effective leadership is vital. This helpful guide gives practical advice on how leaders can set up new projects, assume leadership of existing ones, or revitalize an initiative that has lost its Christian distinctiveness.

The Grove Leadership Series is a partnership between CPAS and Grove Books, offering fresh thinking and ideas to ensure the difference leadership makes is biblical, thoughtful and practical. Grove Booklets are fast moving explorations of Christian life and ministry: 'Not the last word ... but often the first'.
