We project the Wilson/Polchinski renormalization group equation onto its uniform external field dependent effective free energy and connected Green's functions. The result is a hierarchy of equations which admits a choice of "natural" truncation and closure schemes for nonperturbative approximate solution. In this way approximation schemes can be generated which avoid power series expansions in either fields or momenta. When following one closure scheme the lowest order equation is the mean field approximation, while another closure scheme gives the "local potential approximation." Extension of these closure schemes to higher orders leads to interesting new questions regarding truncation schemes and the convergence of nonperturbative approximations. One scheme, based on a novel "momentum cluster decomposition" of the connected Green's functions, seems to offer new possibilities for accurate nonperturbative successive approximation.
