Upcoming Events
A unique and relational weekend with staff and key ministry leaders exploring your church’s current culture and understanding the “Unstuck Church” survey results. A revealing assessment process to discover your church’s current reality
- We would begin with a personal meeting with your church staff, Board members and Key leadership team to establish an understanding of what a healthy church is and how it should function. Our first meeting would include a brief overview of your church’s current vision, missional priorities, ministry programs, staff (paid personnel and volunteers), and organizational structures (management, admin, finance).
- We would establish the most effective assessment tool, which would be used during the catalytic stage of revitalization. Most churches have used the “Un-Stuck Church survey” with the most significant amount of clarity and success.
- A subsequent “Mission, Vision, Values” seminar would be arranged by Mark Lewis to create a more detailed and strategic plan for revitalization.
