What leaders AROUND THE DENOMINATION are saying about IMPACT!
Every Christian is called to ministry. Help the people of your congregation claim their call!
The ancient church spread rapidly throughout the Mediterranean world and, centuries later, the Methodist Church spread like wildfire on the American frontier thanks largely to lay Christians who shared the Christian faith in their homes and communities. Over time, our primary church leadership models have emphasized the leadership of the clergy and have devalued the ministry of the laity. IMPACT offers practical and proven plans to help clergy and laity partner together again to spread the Gospel in a new day and age!
Market Square Books is a division of Market Square Publishing, a Christian company focusing on works to edify the modern-day church. The market square name comes from John Wesley’s practice of preaching in market squares and the iconic market square in Knoxville, TN.
