New DVD Curriculum for The Present Future In a ten-session, four-DVD curriculum, best-selling author Reggie McNeal teaches participants how to recognize what he details in The Present Future as the six most important new realities that church leaders must face. McNeal asserts in his book, as well as in this new DVD resource, that includes Leader's and Participant's Guides, that church leaders can move

beyond "churchianity" to a more authentic and missional faith by changing the questions they ask themselves about their congregations and their mission.

Connections Story: Christ Fellowship Church Christ Fellowship Church in south Florida is more than a thriving multi-site church looking to expand further. Along with drawing 10,500 attendees in 10 services, Christ Fellowship has started a program for sibling groups who have been torn apart in the foster care system, built Villages of Hope for children over 18 who have "aged out" of the foster care and developed a ministry that provides "special-needs shadows" volunteers to team up with special-needs kids so their parents can go to church.
