Least, the Last and the Lost

Mez McConnell draws on decades of frontline church-planting and ministry in Scotland's poorest communities to explore the realities of poverty in the UK and the responsibilities of local churches.

He combines personal stories, sociological insight, and theological reflection to challenge churches to engage incarnationally with marginalized communities.

The book outlines practical strategies for long-term, costly ministry rather than short-term solutions, emphasizing discipleship, presence, and local leadership.

It critiques middle-class church assumptions and calls for churches to adapt their worship, structures, and priorities to reach those on council estates.

Written for pastors and church leaders, it aims to equip churches to pursue sustainable transformation among the least, the last, and the lost.
