Asserting that the good news greatly exceeds the bad news, *Innovations in Ministry* celebrates what's working in American Protestantism. Lyle E. Schaller identifies the new and emerging models for ministry, with heavy emphasis on paradigm shifts toward laity-driven ministries. These include:
(1) Market-driven "niched" ministry to reach diverse populations (2) Ownership and initiative in ministry (3) Regional definitions of church.
The purpose of this book is found in chapter 5: A new partnership that redefines the role of denominations, raises expectations of the laity, and implements the Key Church Strategy (described in chapters 6 and 7). Another strategy similar to the Key Church model is found in chapter 8, where multi-site campuses are investigated.
Key Benefits: Takes seriously the shift from small, local churches toward large, seven-day-a-week regional churches; presents several dynamic, effective, and successful models of ministry that are emerging within contemporary Protestant churches; contributes a voice of hope to ministers who perceive their churches as threatened or even dying; provides concrete examples of how effective ministry is actually taking place in the contemporary church; and illuminates the "Key Church Strategy" and provides support for those engaged in (or considering) a multi-site basis for ministry.
