The Five Dysfunctions Of Ministry: Why Good Churches Struggle and What Great Leaders Do Differently

Your church can be growing-and still be unhealthy. Your ministry can be busy-and still be broken. In The Five Dysfunctions of Ministry: Why Good Churches Struggle-and What Great Leaders Do Differently, Dr. E. Marcel Jones exposes five subtle problems that can quietly weaken even good churches: MISSION, ME, MOUTH, MOVEMENT, and MEASUREMENT. With practical wisdom, biblical insight, and straight-to-the-point leadership principles, this powerful quick read challenges pastors, ministry leaders, church staff, deacons, trustees, volunteers, and leadership teams to look beyond attendance, activity, and Sunday-morning success and ask a harder question: Are we actually healthy? Discover how to recognize mission drift, confront ego-driven leadership, change destructive communication, turn activity into meaningful movement, and measure what truly matters. Then take the Dysfunction Check and walk your team through the Ministry Reset: What must we remember, release, repair, reinvent, and relaunch? Because sometimes a church doesn't need another program. It just needs a reset.
