Resources From the Bishop

The Strategically Small Church by Brandon J. O’Brien.

I heard about this book on the Pivot Podcast which is a Lutheran show that focuses on reshaping ministry for the churches of today. I still haven’t finished it but since the majority of churches in Nevada fall into the small church category (fewer than 200 parishioners on a given Sunday), I am excited to learn about how we can best support the unique strengths these congregations can bring to their communities.

I’ll let you know what I learn!
