Turn-Around Church Workshop

Is your church experiencing a serious decline?  Are you ready to change direction and begin to grow while being more effective in ministry?  Are you prepared for some tough realities and addressing some harsh problems?  
Know that change must take place and that there are no quick answers, only hard work, that moves slowly but surely as you see biblical commands become observable life style in more and more of your congregation.

How to get started. 
Invite LRM to interview your staff and lay leaders.  This could be a breakfast, lunch or evening meeting.  If you wish to proceed, plan a one day "Church Growth Preparation Seminar"

What’s next?

An LRM facilitator will then continue to work with the church and leadership. This facilitator will pray and work with you to formulate a plan to grow the church into what God desires for it. A specific timeline will be structured so that the leadership can be trained and united together. The congregation will be surveyed and assessed for key target areas. The church will work interactively to develop a concrete plan spelling out God’s vision. Within the Master’s Plan, elements specifically drawn from LRM’s Process of Renewal will be incorporated.

As a proper and true understanding of the church’s mission and vision grows and develops, healthy habits will replace the dysfunctional ones. People will be drawn to obedience to God and seeking ways to live out their calling as members of the church.

It is not too late! Contact LRM today for more information!

TurnAround Churches 
How to Overcome Barriers to Growth and Bring New Life to an Established Church
by George Barna

It can happen in any church - success in ministry can lead to a condition of paralysis. Churches begin to rely on the "tried and true" practices of the past and become unable - or unwilling - to risk making the changes required by present day challenges. It's a dangerous scenario that can lead a church into decline. The good news is that "growth paralysis" can be cured - if church leaders learn to recognize it and take swift, decisive and prayerful action.
