Ecclesiology & the Church

We need to apply theology to our work in ministry if we want to see our local congregations (and the larger institution of the Christian church) flourish. These ecclesiology resources equip church leaders and pastors with the wisdom to build Kingdom-centered congregations guided by biblical structures and leadership teams.
