Review Quotes: "Lockhart's West Coast Mission is a wellspring of hope amid the clamour of crisis. Methodologically rigorous, interdisciplinary, and hyperlocal in its approach, this book will be a guidebook for researchers, pastors, and faith communities. As the church and shape of Christian mission are changing, the living witnesses Lockhart identifies are a good place to discern the future of faith." Dustin D. Benac, author of Adaptive Church: Collaboration and Community in a Changing World
