About Everyday Church

Christians are increasingly aware that we live in a post-Christian culture. We recognize the need to adapt, but are unsure of the way forward. This book offers practical ideas for engaging with secularized society and does so in a way that is enfranchising, helping churches rely on their members instead of one leader with a dynamic personality or specialist skills. Chester and Timmis contend that the solution is an “everyday church” doing everyday mission with no signage except our lives. They organize the book around a missional reading of 1 Peter, since Peter’s first-century readers faced a similar situation as aliens and strangers. Gifted communicators and experienced pastors, these authors have proven their ability to be winsome and enlightening, especially in view of their success with Total Church and You Can Change.

Endorsements

"Chester and Timmis have once again challenged us to think differently and diligently about gospel-centered community and gospel-centered mission, and in so doing have given us in Everyday Church some answers in how to engage the growing chasm between the church and world with faithfulness to the Gospel."
-Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor, The Village Church, Highland Village, Texas; author, The Explicit Gospel

“Another book by Steve and Tim that is full of biblical insight and much practical wisdom for daily, street-level ministry in our western culture today.”
-Timothy Keller, Senior Pastor, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City

“I was deeply convicted and excited after reading Total Church, so it was great to see the principles of that book more clearly developed in Everyday Church. Because these principles are so clearly biblical, they are therefore not optional—which means we must all find ways to live out these truths for the Church to be the radiant bride she was meant to be. I look forward to the new joy that believers will experience as they pursue church as described in this book.”
-Francis Chan, Pastor, Cornerstone Church, Simi Valley, California; author, Crazy Love
