Abstract

God's extravagant hospitality is the theological basis for his research, a congregational study of the United Christian Parish (UCP) in Reston, VA. The paper details successes and struggles during a time of significant change and illustrates challenges facing many churches today. The thoelogical basis of the research is connected with recommendations for churches desiring to expand effective ministry. Recommendations include intentional discernment of God's will, spiritual renewal, increased outward focus, direct active and vibrant presence in the neighborhood, faithful prayer, and aligning God's message to the everyday lives of individuals.
