About this ebook
In our changing world, how do Christians come together in non-traditional ways?
For the Christian, there's value in learning about expressions of our own beliefs that may be unfamiliar.
In Kingdom Expressions, an expert takes a look at some of the most significant, gospel-advancing movements and trends to take place in the latter twentieth and twenty-first centuries in the United States, including:
- The Church Growth Movement
- Missional Church Movement
- Multisite Movement
- The rise of church planting networks
- The House Church Movement
- The Emerging Church Movement
You'll be quickly introduced to each expression of Christianity—what each means and what it looks like in practice; along with important convictions, history, and influential leaders.
Features include:
- A close look at non-denominational movements that reach new people in Christ's name.
- Explanations of how contemporary Christianity is changing and why.
- A concise guide to non-traditional Christian groups.
