Pastors and church visionaries, Hugh Halter and Matt Smay, aren’t just interested in churches that gather people, they want to see churches that scatter people too. In their new book, AND: The Gathered and Scattered Church, they discuss how church leaders can move beyond the attractional-missional divide and utilize insights from both perspectives. They bring together the very best of the attractional and missional models for church ministry into one solid model.
Here’s what a few others have to say about AND:
“Hugh and Matt get it. The issue in the American church is not the form or the technology. It’s about what each leader is gifted with and given to become in their context. Forms are dictated by multiple streams of input and relational intersection. May there be a new diaspora of AND churches.” — Dave Gibbons, pastor of NewSong, author of The Monkey and the Fish
“In this pioneering book, Hugh and Matt extend their vision for incarnational community by offering a model of integration for established churches. Because both of them are long-term innovators, trainers, and practitioners of incarnational mission, this book has real significance and effectively advances our thinking on the critical edge. Well done, guys.” — Alan Hirsch, director of Future Travelers, author of The Forgotten Ways
