Many people in many churches are largely untapped which means available but not used. In 2011  the pastoral staff at Grace Church in Erie  Pennsylvania began inviting additional leaders from within the congregation to become staff members without pay. These voluntary leaders were given job descriptions  business cards  problems to solve  and people to lead. They were given responsibility that matched their capacity  and Grace Church created a culture where volunteer leaders had the potential to rise to every level of leadership within the organization. In Untapped Church  Pastor Derek Sanford explores this exciting new approach to church. The book is structured into two main parts. The first part tells the story of the churchs journey toward volunteer leadership. It explores biblical foundations  philosophical shifts  and real-life stories of leaders who have been tapped for kingdom impact. The second part of the book is much more practical in nature. It has the feel of a how-to manual. Beyond that  Derek hopes other pastors will take his idea further and make it better than he ever dreamed it could be! Untapped Church will inspire you to discover the potential hidden in your own congregation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44944931684405,"sku":"ByrdShop_1632695634","price":90.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781632695635.jpg?v=1769861720","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/untapped-church-discovering-the-potential-hidden-in-your-congregation","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
