Description
Church Revitalization guides current and future leaders through the often-complex process of bringing a church to a place of vibrancy. This book demonstrates how the overarching goal of seeing people come to faith in Christ and develop into Christlikeness can--and must--inform the most foundational to the most fleeting aspects of revitalizing a struggling church. Church Revitalization Strategist Rusty Small systematically walks readers through the many considerations of leading a church out of a decline. He helps identify the best approach for addressing what a particular church's revitalization need may be:
- Refresh - often most fitting after a difficult season in the church's life
- Renovate - needed when a decline has lasted five to ten years
- Restore - appropriate for churches with generational patterns focused on survival
- Replant - best for a church facing imminent closure
