"Culture Shift, written for church leaders, ministers, pastors, ministry teams, and lay leaders, leads you through the process of identifying your church's distinctive culture, gives you practical tools to change it from the inside-out, and provides steps to keep your new culture aligned with your church's mission. Real transformation is not abut working harder at what you're already doing or even copying another church's approach but about changing church culture at a foundational level."--BOOK JACKET.
