From his experience of both attending and leading churches, Sim Dendy asks some of the obvious questions about church, just in case there's something we could be doing differently.

The local church should be God's great hope for the world – have we somehow made it complicated? How have we come so far from the model we see in the book of Acts?

"As a Church leader, I have written this book to remind Christians, why we should fully engage in the local church and create a healthy culture using some of my experience being involved in leading some significant churches in the UK."

Be encouraged as you discover just how simple church can be: how we can get connected, grow stronger, manage our resources and really make a difference. And most importantly of all: everyone's welcome.

I love my church

Why Church?

Start with the why

Ten hallmarks

Mission drift

Come, follow me

Encounter: Everyone can experience God

Encounter is for all

Encounter needs a language

Encounter requires a space

Gather: Together is always better

Gather starts on Sunday (usually...)

Gather in small groups

Gather through service

Grow: No one is finished yet

Grow fruitfully

Grow through others

Grow through the Holy Spirit

Influence: Every person can create change

Influence always starts with people

Influence goes beyond church walls

Influence through partnership

Under the bonnet

Yes, you do have a system for that

Healthy leadership, healthy church

Shhh! Don't talk about money

The WHY has a name

Acknowledgements
