Missional Church Theology

In an hour where doctrine and doctrinal study is dismissed as lacking both significance and relevance, it is our belief that there has never been a time when truth must be proclaimed (preaching) and explained (teaching) loudly, clearly, and intelligently. Apologetics will forever be kept alive by lovers of truth!
In God, everything has its appointed time and place. This first volume of the Symposium on the Apostles doctrine has been years in the making.  e stars aligned and God furnished the ways and the means for this dream and burden to become a reality. A heartfelt thanks to all of our presenters for the individual sacrifices of time and effort. May God bless you all abundantly!
For those of you that are reading this book, herein are the written presentations that comprised the syllabus of the symposium. After each oral presentation of which these written submissions were the basis, there was a moderated time of peer review, critique and questions. I would like to take the time to thank Reverend David Holmes of Calgary, Alberta and Reverend Ken Bow of Lake Tapps, Washington. Both of them were instrumental in providing excellent moderation throughout the colloquium.

The COVID-19 pandemic created an unprecedented need for innovations in churches around the world. Organizational innovativeness, a precursor of successful innovations in organizational contexts, is rarely studied in churches. This study of American church attenders (N = 244) found that perceived innovativeness of churches (conceived of as the elements of a church's culture which promote innovation, specifically, creativity, organizational openness, future orientation, risk-taking, and proactiveness) was a very strong predictor of church commitment (conceived of as intentions to stay in the church, r = .60, p < .001). Of the moderators examined in this study (membership tenure, age of participant, church size, and gender), only gender moderated this relationship; the relationship between perceived innovativeness and church commitment was stronger for females than for males. This suggests that innovations that facilitated relationship development and relationship maintenance had the greatest impact on church commitment during the pandemic.
