Mark Clifton and Mark Hallock discuss some tips from Thom Rainer on church revitalization.
- Substantive changes in a church typically don’t hold until has been at a church at least 4-5 years.
- The most common way to face reality in a church is to look at a 10-year attendance pattern.
- Revitalization is not something that happens with the snap of a finger.
- You don’t revitalize a church in your power. You do it through God’s power.
- There are a lot of pastors and church leaders who just don’t want to ask for help.
- If there were no risk in church revitalization, every church would be revitalized.
- Don’t get into revitalization if you’re afraid to lead by faith.
