There are so many resources out there for church revitalization we often get the question, “Where do I start?” Here are some of our suggestions for paid, in-person, and free resources we believe may be helpful to you.
Events:
Revitalize 2020
Over 4,000 churches will close their doors in the next year, and our goal is to help pastors and church leaders reverse this trend. In short, we want to help churches move from flatlined to flourishing. We would love for you to attend Revitalize 2020, April 20-21 in Bradenton, Florida. Early-Bird registration ends in just a couple of weeks.
Books:
Anatomy of a Revived Church – Thom S. Rainer
If you haven’t heard, Thom Rainer has written a new book entitled, Anatomy of a Revived Church. Since it released in December it has consistently been in the top 10 books in its category, and was a #1 Amazon best seller.
Free Resources:
Est. Church Podcast
Who doesn’t love free? Pastors Sam Rainer, Micah Fries, and Josh King all lead established churches in varying stages of church revitalization. In April, their podcast entitled EST, will be featured at ChurchAnswers.com. Check out one helpful episode, number 148, A Revitalization Story, Wellsprings Church Georgia.
