Defining Success in a Church Revitalization: A Three-Part Series – Part 3: Revitalization Successes That Cannot Be Precisely Measured

We often hear from church leaders who desire to know exactly what success looks like in a church revitalization. The word “success” is loaded and tends to evoke a lot of emotions. In this three-part series, Mark and Thom provide clarity and guidance about this term. In the third episode, they look at revitalization successes that cannot be precisely defined.

• People growing as disciples.

• Great community involvement and impact.

• The impact of members who were sent.

• The return of joy to the church.
