Next Sunday

IVP, 2022

By Nancy Beach and Samantha Beach Kiley

WHO: Nancy Beach, a leadership coach with the Slingshot Group, and Samantha Beach Kiley, creative arts pastor at Austin New Church.

THEY SAY: “We care deeply about churches thriving. We believe in the church as a force for restoration.”

THE BIG IDEA: A multigenerational discussion about the future of the church.

THE PROGRESSION: The authors, a baby boomer and a millennial, approach issues facing the church from their unique perspectives. In each of the seven chapters, both authors contribute a section that honestly looks at what is happening in the church today and what could happen in the future.

“If all of us choose to be in, next Sunday can be beautiful.”
