Rick Barger

Beyond Church Walls

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Rick Rouse is a vibrant, transformative, resilient, and evangelical leader whose rich life experience and passion for the church oozes through the pages of this book and its helpful appendices. Knowing that the church is called, in the name of Jesus, to heal and bless the whole world, Rouse makes the theological case for congregations to turn their focus outward and to invest their energies in raising up and deploying people rather than maintaining programs. Congregations who are able to replicate the culture of care put forward by Rouse will discover they truly have become authentic communities who think like Jesus, love like Jesus, and act like Jesus.”

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Undergirded with a no-nonsense ache for renewal of God's mission in the world and a love for the church, this book promises to bring about hope and a renewal of call for pastors and congregational leaders alike.”
