In his latest book, The Five Congregational Personality Types: An Ancient Pathway for Congregational Renewal in the 21st Century, professor, pastor, and practitioner, Michael Adam Beck, offers a biblical understanding of congregational personality types, and how the embodiment of these “personality types” may help or hinder a congregation’s future. According to Pastor Beck the pathway forward is for congregational leaders to begin the ancient and sacred journey of listening, learning, and loving, to ultimately take on the personality of Jesus.

Michael Beck has once again delivered a navigation tool that enables congregations and pastors to find our way into, out of, and through this thing called “church.” The matrix of church and pastor “personality types” provides a playground for relational adventuring that has the potential to bring everyone onto the same team. This essential resource is a GPS system enabling church teams to discover who they are, map out where to go, and provide multiple routes to get there. Every church needs to experience this process!
