How do you minister faithfully to a congregation that is in decline?

While many congregations struggle with trying to find the key to regrowth, pastor

Anna Olson suggests that the answer may actually be to accept and embrace this

moment for what it is. In this beautifully written work, Olson helps pastors

recognize that, while the congregation might be going away, the community of which

it is a part is still very much alive. Using her own experiences in a dying

congregation, Olson encourages pastors to use this opportunity to explore new ways

to minister, freely and selflessly, and provides a powerful model of what

faithfulness to the gospel looks like. This hopeful book about letting go of false

hope gives pastors the guidance they need for ministering effectively during the

final stages of a church’s life.
