Synopsis: "What a refreshing book! Imagine a church whose primary emphasis is to make people "feel at home." I wish every young pastor could read this book. Thanks, Lee, for a wonderful reminder of what the church is to be."-Erwin W. Lutzer, Pastor Emeritus, The Moody Church, ChicagoIs your church acting like an organization or a home?You love your church, but you wonder if it could be more. There&’s a greeting team, but is there a true spirit of welcoming? There are committees, leaders, and programs, but is there a Spirit-led vision? There are small groups, but are people truly connected?Pastor and award-winning author Lee Eclov was troubled by these questions. Then, he had a realization: he wasn&’t called to lead an organization, but a family. His job was to be a "homemaker," not a CEO. This paradigm shift changed everything. In Feels Like Home, he shares what he&’s learned from over 40 years of ministry about being the family of God and how to live into that beautiful reality. This short volume is full of stories of small adjustments that make a huge difference in the effectiveness, warmth, and growth of a church community.
