Today’s church has a strategic problem and a missionary problem, say Dave Ferguson and Alan Hirsch, authors of On the Verge: A Journey Into the Future of the Apostolic Church.
“Most churches are built on a model of people coming to our churches
and us offering a positive church experience,” Ferguson says. “The good
news is that about 40 to 50 percent of the population still wants that.
The bad news is that the other 60 percent are not looking for that at
all.”
