5 prayerful questions

Every Church Must Ask About Neighbors

Discover the right-fit questions that will help your leaders turn strangers to neighbors, neighbors to community, and community to active participants in your church mission and ministry.

  • What if one question could reveal whether your church is truly forming disciples, or simply sustaining activity that looks like it is?
  • What if you could know more about who feels at home in your church, and who quietly never will?
  • What if you could uncover the hidden gaps between your church and your community before the gap widens?
  • What if the right question could shift your leadership team from managing comfort to pursuing the mission Jesus is already inviting you into?
  • What if one clarifying question could move your church from uncertainty to courageous action, and from Stranger to Neighbor?

Jesus asks, "Who are you looking for?"


I'm Rev. Dr. Daynette Snead Perez. Over the years, God placed me in the liminal spaces between the church and the community. I have experienced and served in the gaps and faithful spaces longing to connect with their communities. If you're praying to grow your church, you're invited to start here with me.

Rev. Dr. Daynette Snead Perez captures a generational challenge and offers a solution that will change the way we see and live out church for many years to come. Bibilically rooted, theologically reflective, and practical without equal, the author emphatically reminds us to endure the "inconvenience" of the incarnation of a relationship with everyone, not just those who are like us."
Rev. Jeremy Bell, Former General Secretary, NABF

"Dr. Snead Perez challenges us to become participants in the motus Dei, the movement of God in the world, through which the triune God fashions us into a new people who cultivate frienships in unexpected places."  Steven Porter, ThD. Former Cordinator of Global Missions, CBF
