In this 2012 Exponential podcast, Brian Mavis, Eric Swanson and, Rick Rusaw speak about how to make a church that the community values. Thousands of churches will close their doors this year in America. Many churches will not close, but they aren't making a difference. The guiding question of Externally Focused Churches is "If my church vanished, would my community care?" Unfortunately, for most churches the answer is "No." Oh sure, the people who attend those churches would care. But the city leaders wouldn't care. The schools wouldn't care. The business leaders and the community's non-profit agencies wouldn't care. The public and the down-and-out wouldn't care. The least and the lost wouldn't care. Learn what went wrong and what it will take to be a church that the community cares about.
