Church Revitalization Books From Renovate Publishing Group

Before It All Comes Crashing Down: Revitalizing a Church That Waited Too Long is written for the pastor who must try once more to resurrect the dying church. It is for both the leadership and membership alike to read, study, and then aspire once again to see their church come back to life. It is for the new or long-time pastor to wrestle with these pages. It is for the laity to grapple with the ideas in this book and come out on the other side better and ready to turn around their church.

It is never too late for the church to be renewed. I have seen little churches and big ones turned around in the midst of the deepest woes. This work is designed to get you started and demonstrate that if you come together as a church body, God can do an amazing work of church revitalization.

Your First 120 Days in church Revitalization and Renewal You are initiating the beginning of your church’s effort towards church revitalization. You are to be commended for the willingness to save a church from the pain of loss. There are all types of loses for declining churches. There is the loss of long-time church members who have either moved away or passed on. There is the loss of impact in one’s community in which the church was planted to serve. Another loss is the mixture of all ages within your fellowship to what now leans further towards the elderly than the young. But perhaps the biggest loss is when your church has not done anything to bring about renewal and eventually it is given away to a church planter which is stranger because the membership and leadership within the church waited too long to act. As you look in the mirror ask the Lord how you are going to be the catalyst for revitalization in the dear church you serve.

The Seven Pillars of Church Revitalization & Renewal 

The need for Church Revitalization has never been greater in North America. An estimated 340,000 Protestant churches in America have an average weekly attendance of less than one hundred. Research data tells us that in the United States more than 80% of the churches have plateaued or are declining. Each and every week we are currently seeing somewhere between fifty and seventy-five local churches close their doors, not to be opened again. Pastors leading churches today admit that there are daily frustrations that distract them from doing the real work of ministry.
