This book is to assist pastors entering a congregation and seeking to understand the congregation they are to lead. It will assist the pastor to engage the congregation in a self-study of where it is, who it is, what it does and how it does it. This writing will also allow pastors to re-engage their congregation in a periodic self-assessment of its culture and its affect on visioning and mission planning.
