The Externally Focused Church explores what happens when a congregation turns its attention beyond Sunday services and focuses intentionally on the needs of its neighbours. Instead of asking people to come inside, it shows how churches can bring practical help, compassion, and hope into their communities.
Drawing on case studies from congregations that have woven service into their DNA, the book highlights real examples of churches partnering with schools, agencies, and everyday people. Readers see how simple, consistent acts of service can open doors to conversations, change perceptions of Christianity, and build trust with those who are skeptical or hurting.
Leaders, volunteers, and ministry teams will find concrete ideas for using the resources they already have to make a meaningful difference right where they live. The emphasis is on ordinary believers—of every age and background—living out their faith through tangible love.
Ideal for pastors, elders, ministry leaders, and small groups seeking a vision of church that is deeply rooted in service to the wider community.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
