Coffee Shop That Changed a Church

Mitch Walker, a fresh idealistic kid fresh out of seminary, struggles to find his way as the new pastor of a small and struggling congregation. After two years, the ambitious pastor realizes he is a shepherd whose flock is content with being stagnant - that is, until a chance encounter with a neighboring pastor turns his ministry upside down. The experienced pastor offers to meet regularly with Mitch at a nearby coffee shop to share his innovative strategies for leading an evangelism movement, called the Net Effect.In a fresh and entertaining format, The Coffee Shop That Changed a Church, inspires, equips, and motivates readers to reach out and make disciples for Jesus Christ. Through Mitch's successes and failures, Dr. Steve Parr shows us how to apply key practices for helping a church become intentionally evangelistic and thus more healthy and vibrant. Dr. Parr crafted this book not only for pastors, but also for deacon, Bible Study leaders, church staff, and members who hold any leadership role within the church.
