About this audiobook

Church Revitalization guides current and future leaders through the often-complex process of bringing a church to a place of vibrancy. This book demonstrates how the overarching goal of seeing people come to faith in Christ and develop into Christlikeness can-and must-inform the most foundational to the most fleeting aspects of revitalizing a struggling church. Church Revitalization Strategist Rusty Small systematically walks listeners through the many considerations of leading a church out of a decline. He helps identify the best approach for addressing what a particular church's revitalization need may be: - Refresh-often most fitting after a difficult season in the church's life - Renovate-needed when a decline has lasted five to ten years - Restore-appropriate for churches with generational patterns focused on survival - Replant-best for a church facing imminent closure Few joys compare to seeing God's life and power realized for the local church-when believers begin to think and serve as Jesus did. Small will encourage pastors and church leaders engaged in this critical task.
