The book The Authority of the Congregation says very little about meetings and a lot about our mission.
Congregationalism has a bad reputation for well-known reasons: inefficient meetings, upstart and arrogant members, domineering pastors, etc.
But biblical congregationalism does not really focus on meetings but on equipping the entire church to foster and protect the gospel.
Pastors lead and equip, and members collaborate by strengthening one another and promoting Christ's mission in the world.
In the Basics for the Church series, trusted experts on the subject of the church offer practical and reliable resources on issues such as the Great Commission, baptism, the Lord's Supper, congregational authority, church discipline, and church leadership.
Both pastors and church members will greatly benefit from these resources.
