Have you heard yourself or someone else saying, “Oh, I see the many needs for outreach in our community, and I wish our church could participate, but we are just too old and too small?” Or perhaps you find yourself listening in on frequent conversations that sound like a historical chronicle of your church: “Oh, I remember the days when we started the soup kitchen in town. The youth spearheaded a fundraiser for the building,” and so on. These sorts of conversations are the kind we have when what we really want to say is, “Oh, I wish our church could still be involved in mission and service, but we have shrunk instead of grown, and we have all aged out of the energy it takes to dream dreams and get involved in the needs of others.” In her book, Together Is Better, Lisa Culpepper addresses the need for collaboration in mission among small membership churches. This collaboration, or clustering for mission and outreach, enables declining small churches to pool their resources so that in working together in both local and global outreach, they can reclaim their missional call. Through the sharing together of their unique and abundant gifts, small membership churches can participate in mission and find fulfillment in their calling. In doing so, they will rediscover mission as central to the call of Christ and the nature of the church, regardless of size.This book will guide the reader in the rationale and methodology for working together in mission that will enable small membership churches to do together what they could not do alone. The pages that follow present the biblical foundational principles, the rationale of urgency and necessity, the process and procedures, as well as case studies for forming missional clusters.
