MLC Resource Submission

Thank you for your interest in helping us further develop the Manual on Local Church through submitting resources for consideration.

2.Last Name(Required.)
3.email address(Required.)

5.Please describe your local church context including approximate size (under 50 members for example), age (is the church less than 20 years old? over 100 years old?), economic security (do you own a building?), dominant demographics (mostly white and retired, or first generation Samoan immigrant families, for example) and location (is your church in a small town or rural setting over 90 minutes to a major airport? is your church in a suburb of a metropolitan area?) and anything else to help understand your context.

For example: "Good Shepherd is a vibrant church in a small town between Tucson, AZ and the US/Mexico border. We are about 200 members and mostly retired white people though have a number of working families with children as well. The church was founded approximately 50 years ago and we own our building and use our facilities weekly as a community food bank. We have both a traditional and contemporary worship service weekly and stream our worship on Facebook."
