Abstract

The author studied appreciative inquiry as a tool for the transformation of the smaller churches. The goal was to increase the imagination for visioning a new life in the Mid-Ohio District of the East Ohio Conference of the United Methodist Church. Representatives of thirty-nine small churches participated in workshops and developed an appreciative inquiry process that they used in their churches. The result was that through the process, as it was lived out in each of the churches, the churches saw an improvement in their statistics and increased the creative conversations from which they plan their ministry.
