The Misfit Mission

Many church leaders and other people of faith feel constrained bytime-worn strategies, tactics, and attitudes. Unwritten rules of how todo church seem to force us into neat and tidy patterns. But new ideasand methods are bubbling up in all corners of the Church, and newleaders are taking risks, creating opportunities, and rewriting theircommunities' definition of church. One such leader is author ScottChrostek. In The Misfit Mission, Chrostek describes what itlooks like for us to do the right thing in ministry, even when logic or'rules' say it's the wrong thing. He shows how we really can do morethan we might ask or imagine, when we remember God's call and thepromises of scripture-when we live each day with the expectation of holysurprise. Chrostek shares inspiring stories from all sorts ofpeople, and often funny, poignant tales from his ministry as churchplanter and campus pastor of The Church of the Resurrection Downtown, inurban Kansas City. He illustrates how people can uncover their innatepassion for knowing and serving Christ, and how a church can become anintegral part of the community. The misfit mission is God's owncreative, surprising, crazy-beautiful way, and this book proves how wecan be a part of it!
