Church for Monday: Equipping Believers for Mission at Work

by Svetlana Papazov

Church for Monday book encourages believers to act in an entrepreneurial manner and partner with God in his working the world. It demonstrates through many examples, how the church is uniquely designed to model Creator God, the Ultimate Entrepreneur. It makes the case that a church equipping for Monday is a missional church that fosters the creative streak placed in every one of us, practices corporate public faith, innovatively contextualizes the gospel for the postmodern world, and seeks holistic spirituality by uniting worship on Sunday to mission on Monday.

This type of church, called Church for Monday, have grown in the awareness that as the gap between practicing Christians and the unchurched has dangerously widened, the 8-to-5 window (the work day), has become a mission field as important as the 10/40 window (a geographical area with high concentrations of unreached people for Christ), because at work is where the majority of the unchurched spend the majority of their waking hours.

This book asks: "What type of church prepares for that type of world?" and offers the local church a practical re-tooling to equip believers for the workweek on Monday, regain relevance in the lives of the lapsed and non-Christians in its community, and re-establish the Church's witness in the public arena.
