This easy-to-read guide presents both a compelling rationale and a powerful strategy to show parents how to actively encourage their children’s spiritual growth so that it will stick with them into adulthood and empower them to develop a living, lasting faith. Written by Fuller Youth Institute Executive Director Dr. Kara E. Powell and youth expert Chap Clark--authors known for the integrity of their research and the intensity of their passion for young people--Sticky Faith is geared to spark a movement that empowers adults to develop robust and long-term faith in kids of all ages. Further engage your family and church with the Sticky Faith Guide for Your Family, Sticky Faith curriculum, and Sticky Faith youth worker edition.

One size does not fit all, especially when it pertains to a church’s role in ministering to a community and its people. It is a fact that most churches in America are small in size. Many of these churches are steadily shrinking. As a response to this need, there have been many books written about Church growth and Church health. Books regarding ministry and church leadership are often written by pastors of large churches that may not have the same perspective about Ministry In The Small Church. Ministry In The Small Church focuses on working in the hearts, minds, and attitudes of ministers and the leadership of small churches for the glory of Christ. It is a call to renew the ministry that God has apportioned to all His people. The goal of Ministry in the Small Church is to encourage and aid the focus of ministers of all types in small churches. The author, Tyler Somers, has a unique love and perspective for Christ’s Church, particularly in the small church setting.
