Thriving communities: the pattern of church life then and now

by C. Kavin Rowe, L. Gregory Jones, Alissa Wilkinson (-Editor)

In THRIVING COMMUNITIES, Duke University Divinity School’s C. Kavin Rowe takes us into the Acts of the Apostles, the earliest account we have of Christian community. There, we can observe six specific features of the first Christians communities—features that we also see wherever powerful Christian communities are gathered today.

Read THRIVING COMMUNITIES and you will:

- Learn the six patterns of life in a thriving community.
- Hear stories of communities that are thriving today, and learn to do what they’re doing.
- Answer questions that will help you assess your own community’s current status and near-future potential.
- Discover how we can all help make our communities a foretaste of the ultimate community—the kingdom of God.
