This book lets you discover the tools necessary to transform vision and leadership into missional growth. Will Mancini is an expert on a new kind of vision/strategic planning: the movement to make churches more missional, that is, moving them from an internal focus to an emphasis on participating in the culture and their community. His model for vision - casting and church growth has been tested with leaders in all kinds of congregations - mainline, evangelical, small, and large. In this book, he outlines a new model to help churches articulate strategy, become more missional, unpack the baggage of institutionalism, and live into their visions. Will Mancini (Houston, TX), a former pastor, is the founder of Auxano, a national consulting group that works with all kinds of traditional and emerging churches and ministries to help leaders do a more visionary form of strategic planning.
