Churches and nonprofits are all seeking people’s attention, their participation, and especially their funding. But they do so from a scarcity mindset, believing that any funding directed to one organization or church is funding taken away from their own. We all like to say that we work for the same Lord Jesus and for the sake of His kingdom, but in practice, we compete with each other. Into this fray comes Dr. Angie Ward , professor of leadership and ministry at Denver Seminary. She is a leadership author and teacher with nearly 30 years of experience in church, parachurch, and Christian higher education ministry. Her new book is Beyond Church and Parachurch: From Competition to Missional Extension (InterVarsity Press, 2025). In our conversation, Angie Ward offers a new blueprint for churches and all other Christian ministries toward a unified future. In our conversation, * Dr. Ward provides a comprehensive definition of “church.” * She explains why it is essential that we see the church in terms of the people of God united to participate in God’s mission in a variety of ways. * She provides a new paradigm: “Missional Extensions.” This terminology helps us understand how various Christian ministries function and interact. * She provides practical ideas for ministries to cease competing and to start collaborating.
