Flyover Church

Christ is present and at work in rural communities. How do we lead from that reality? The temptation to operate from a scarcity mindset is stronger than ever. The tensions unleashed over the past few yearswhich led to skepticism, breakdowns of trust, declining church attendance, and uncertainty around community ministrycontinue to linger in and among our rural churches. Yet God's loving, redemptive work is happening in all places, no matter how smallor far-flung. InFlyover Church, Brad Roth, the author ofGod's Country,describes how rural ministry shares soul-deep commonalities with the church in every place.And he speaks a hopeful message into the distinct challengesand promisesfaced by rural communities. Tracing Jesus' ministry and bountiful work among the small-town people and places in the gospel of Mark, this book offers a vision for ministry tailored to rural settings. Pastors and leaders everywhere will be encouraged to approach ministry from the reality of God's abundance.
