Outgrowing Church, Second Edition

“John Killinger, in this second edition of Outgrowing Church, laments the loss of a church whose methodology seems destined for extinction, even as he hints at a coming season when incarnational community will succeed institutional church as the primary expression of spiritual connectivity. . . . This isn’t just another book about the collapse of the ecclesial empire; it is a call to look for the seedlings emerging from the debris, an emerging faith community bound together, not by brick and mortar, or budgets and baptisms, but a fellowship that finds cohesion in grace, hospitality, and honest inquiry.”
