Abstract

The strengths and potential necessary for vitality and health of a congregation are intrinsic and available now. What a congregation needs to flourish and experience positive transformation is an appreciation of its God-given strengths, with intentional focus of leveraging those strengths toward a new destiny. The author studies panentheism as a theological foundation for appreciative inquiry, a strengths-focused organizational change model. He describes his journey of implementing this method and coaching his congregation toward what is possible. He also shares lessons learned along the way, most importantly that all a church needs to become its best is within it now.
