Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Learn how a “less is more” approach to church can equip believers for eternal influence. Church innovator Dave Browning unpacks the six elements of a new equation for church development. These concepts—minimality, intentionality, reality, multility, velocity, and scalability—provide a realistic plan for streamlining church while maximizing impact.


From the Back Cover

Less is more. And more is better. This is the new equation for church development, a new equation with eternal results.

Rejecting the “bigger is better” model of the complex, corporate megachurch, church innovator Dave Browning embraced deliberate simplicity. The result was Christ the King Community Church, International (CTK), an expanding multisite community church that Outreach magazine named among America’s Fastest Growing Churches and America’s Most Innovative Churches. Members of the CTK network in a number of cities, countries, and continents are empowered for maximum impact by Browning’s “less is more” approach. In Deliberate Simplicity, Browning discusses the six elements of this streamlined model:
• Minimality: Keep it simple
• Intentionality: Keep it missional
• Reality: Keep it real
• Multility: Keep it cellular
• Velocity: Keep it moving
• Scalability: Keep it expanding

As part of the Leadership Network Innovation Series, Deliberate Simplicity is a guide for church leaders seeking new strategies for more effective ministry.

5.0 out of 5 stars making changes deliberately, May 15, 2009
By Rick Russell (Siletz, Oregon) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What a great book for the church that is tired of being stagnate. It is for the next generation without compromising God's message and mission.
We look forward to applying many of the concepts. We are making arrangements to have a group of leaders in our own church go up North and meet with Dave Browning, the author. Highly recommend
