Better Together: Making Church Mergers Work - Expanded and Updated Paperback – 4 Aug. 2020

Some good practice models & practical checklists that can be applied in UK even though it’s US based study and report.

Good book for helping in small group of church going through a merger. Well written, using it in our small group to guide us as we merge with another, larger church. This is really helping. By the way, we viewed the YouTube video by the authors at our first group meeting. That helped get us all in the right mindset, seeing this may be the new norm.On the second session (going over chapter 2), we viewed the recommended YouTube video about the New Life Church. What a wonderful story about church rebirth.

This is a classic text book for churches considering any sort of merger. Helps answer the questions and covers all the bases.

Excellent background on mergers

We are seriously looking at a merger with Menlo Church in the San Francisco Bay Area. What a great guide for considering such a major move. The book definitely takes the approach that merging can be a good, sometimes great, thing if the circumstances and motivations are right. I highly recommend it for anyone exploring such an opportunity. We bought over a dozen copies and placed in our church library. We’ve subsequently placed an additional order as they have been extremely popular.

A very helpful and very well-written book. Organized in such a way that it is easy to follow up ad with helpful schedules.
