Revitalize & Replant is sponsored by the North American Mission Board and ChurchReplanters.com. More than 10% of churches in North America are at risk of closing and the North American Mission Board is committed to reversing this trend by decreasing the death rate of existing churches while simultaneously increasing the birth rate of new churches. To learn more about what it means to become a replanting pastor or to explore resources for replanting and revitalization in your own church, visit ChurchReplanters.com.Submit Your Question:

If they do not have “Knowledge of first steps” at a minimum, then enter a 0 in the place of that essential factor in the Realville Ministry Model change equation and realize that no change will happen.
(Dissatisfaction x Vision of preferred future x Knowledge of first steps) > Resistance = Change
The research: folk implementing change manage (i.e., diagnose/prognose), lead (i.e., prescribe), AND administer (treat diagnoses with prescription) in such a way that resistance to change occurs, organizational health is restored, and self-sustaining new conditions result. Not easy, but simple.
I would love also practical steps making church members grow spiritually and in their commitment and support to the church.
In this order with each person, focus on: membership, maturity, ministry, and missions (the must-do’s of the New Testament church—that can be developed directly or indirectly [but should be done intentionally] in the lives of all Christians over time).
Again: not easy, but simple. LifeWay has resources and resource people to help.
