Less is more. And more is better. This is the new equation for church development, a new equation with eternal results.Rejecting the “bigger is better” model of the complex, corporate megachurch, church innovator Dave Browning embraced deliberate simplicity. The result was Christ the King Community Church, International (CTK), an expanding multisite community church that Outreach magazine named among America’s Fastest Growing Churches and America’s Most Innovative Churches. Members of the CTK network in a number of cities, countries, and continents are empowered for maximum impact by Browning’s “less is more” approach. In Deliberate Simplicity, Browning discusses the six elements of this streamlined model:• Minimality: Keep it simple• Intentionality: Keep it missional• Reality: Keep it real• Multility: Keep it cellular• Velocity: Keep it moving• Scalability: Keep it expandingAs part of the Leadership Network Innovation Series, Deliberate Simplicity is a guide for church leaders seeking new strategies for more effective ministry.

A hands-on resource for both large and small churches It has been predicted that in the twenty-first century extremely large churches would emerge in America that resemble neither an elephant nor a field of mice. Which is better? At one time the answer would have been either/or. Now it's both/and. We want both the intimacy of smallness and the impact of bigness-we want a hybrid of the two. Hybrid Church is a practical guide for clergy and leaders who want to have the best of both church worlds: the intimacy of small "house church" groups and the impact of very large mega-churches. <ul>
<li>Offers a guide for churches who want to capitalize on their strengths to build intimacy with impact</li> <li>Written by the pastor of one of the "fastest growing" and "most innovative" churches in America with thousands of members organized in small house groups</li> <li>Outlines a vision for how the church of tomorrow could look like the early church. Given that the trend is toward very large and very small, with few churches in the middle, this book will be a welcome resource for both large and small churches.</li> </ul>

Hybrid Church: The Fusion of Intimacy and Impact

Jossey-Bass

Church growth in the 70's, 80's and 90's was defined by the corporate "mega-church". The corporate mega-church has been able to reach thousands with big budgets, sprawling campuses, large staffs and extensive programming. Large churches have demonstrated for the past three decades that "more" can be "more". Deliberate Simplicity demonstrates that "less" can also be "more" and in this way is a "new equation" for church development.Deliberate Simplicity is the philosophy of ministry in use at Christ the King Community Church, a church that has grown exponentially by keeping it simple.Deliberate Simplicity is how Less is More, and More is Better. The main ideas of Deliberate Simplicity are outlined in an equation:Each of the symbols represents a different factor of Deliberate Simplicity:MinimalityIntentionalityRealityMultilityVelocityScalability

Leaders come in all shapes and sizes. Some are bold in their style, some are unassuming. Some fly by the seat of their pants. Some are very calculating. Even the Apostles of Jesus varied greatly in their approaches to leadership. Peter was a power house. James was a practical tactician. John was a lover. But in the end, leaders always make a difference. They see what needs to be done, and they do what needs to be done.In this leadership primer Dave Browning, author of Deliberate Simplicity, unpacks the specifics of "the seeing" that leaders see, and "the doing" that leaders do. While this book won't make you a leader, it will give you a track to run on if you want to be.
