Mike Slaughter 
UnLearning Church 
New Edition

How many things does your church do just because that’s the way it’s always been done? Does your congregation value tradition over passion and stability over creativity? If so, it’s time to un Learn. Leading congregations into a dynamic and prophetic future requires un Learning what you thought you knew about the church, leadership, and life. Pastor Michael Slaughter casts a vision for innovative and authentic congregations, and for the kind of leadership that can bring congregations to greater vitality and impact in today’s postmodern culture. Readers will be challenged to gaze boldly beyond franchised church models to a dynamic embodiment of God’s unique vision for each leader and each congregation. Un Learning congregations embrace new media and cultural trends, value transformation over information, and create a safe space for the tough and unanswerable questions of life. These are churches that lovingly dare to shoulder spiritual and prophetic leadership in our rapidly changing culture, re-articulating God’s ancient purposes to create high-tech, high-touch environments in which people can become radical followers of Jesus Christ.
Informed by Slaughter’s thirty years of leadership at the innovative and mission-driven Ginghamsburg United Methodist Church, Un Learning Church offers readers guidance and insight into setting aside old identities, old expectations, and old ways of “doing church, ” and inspires readers with examples of congregations already living out their mission to be creative and outwardly-focused communities of faith.
