God's Pattern for Revitalization

The most common question that most pastors and church leaders ask themselves is “Where do I start in revitalizing my church?” Revitalizing a church can seem like a daunting task, but there are some key steps that pastors and church leaders can take to begin the process of transforming their church into an active and vibrant center of the Christian community.

The first step that pastors should take is to prayerfully assess the current state of the church. This will involve reflecting on the church’s current successes and challenges to better understand where changes need to be made. That understanding can come only from God himself.

God has provided us with an example of how revitalization and revival can take place in a church. This book will enlighten and inform on the way that God intends for his church to be vibrant and alive again in the community of believers and surrounding neighbors.

Using Scripture as the pattern and guide, readers will gain confidence and courage to move their church forward in revitalization.
