{"product_id":"church-30","title":"Church 3.0","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Neil Cole’s best-selling book \u003ci\u003eOrganic Church\u003c\/i\u003e was first published, it described one of the fastest growing and most innovative segments of contemporary Christianity. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eChurch 3.0,\u003c\/i\u003e Cole makes the argument that Christianity needs more than new programs, buildings, or worship formats. It needs a complete upgrade to a new operating system. The early church shifted to a more institutional form in 300 \u003csmall\u003eAD\u003c\/small\u003e and has been stuck in the 2.0 operating system ever since. We are overdue for the next upgrade. \u003ci\u003eChurch 3.0 \u003c\/i\u003ediscusses issues such as how to deal with heresy, how to handle finances, what to do with children, and what to do with worship, rituals, and ordinances. Even the most enthusiastic proponents and practitioners of organic churches often wonder how to handle such matters in a faithful way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrganic churches demand a shift from a program-driven and clergy-led institutionalized approach to one that is relational, simple, intimate, and viral in the way it spreads. Instead of seeing church as something that serves its people, church becomes people who serve God, one another, and a hurting world. Church is no longer an event to be at, but a family to be part of. Church is not a program to reach out to the world, but a people that bring God with them to the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on Cole’s extensive experience in starting, nurturing, and mentoring thousands of churches, \u003ci\u003eChurch 3.0\u003c\/i\u003e offers insight and information about how to make this shift to a more organic form of church.\u003ci\u003e Church 3.0\u003c\/i\u003e is an insider’s look at the important considerations necessary to release spontaneous church multiplication movements in a Western context.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Francis Chan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42849625538621,"sku":"9780470529454","price":42.26,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780470529454_f5e4fbe8-c224-44cb-acd6-a7bea9d5f92c.jpg?v=1767039909","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/church-30","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
