Center Church
Doing Balanced, Gospel-Centered Ministry in Your City
Book • 2012
In 'Center Church', Timothy Keller outlines a balanced theological vision for ministry organized around three core commitments: Gospel-centered, City-centered, and Movement-centered.
The book emphasizes measuring a ministry's success on biblical grounds of fruitfulness rather than numbers or leader faithfulness.
It provides a well-conceived vision for bringing the gospel to bear on the particular cultural setting and historical moment, guiding church leaders in worship, discipleship, evangelism, service, and cultural engagement.
Keller also discusses various approaches to cultural engagement and presents a model with four ministry fronts: connecting people to God, to one another, to the city, and to culture through the integration of faith and work.
