The Kingdom-Focused Church will give you everything you need to achieve your church's full potential—and relief from the smorgasbord approach that distracts you from the unique focus, nature, and mission of the church God has saved for you. You'll discover that success doesn't come from copying someone else's ideas or methods, but from knowing the biblical model of a church and understanding how to conform your church—regardless of size, location, resources, history, or any other variable—to that biblical pattern.

In Mims' warm, engaging style, he encourages you to discover for yourself why a Kingdom focus will work when all else fails.
