In the episode we discuss “Some Vital Questions that relate to A Church Revitalization Project.” Church Revitalization is not easy. In fact to revitalize a church is hard work and takes a lot of time but the end result should give new life and hope to an otherwise dying/declining congregation. We answer questions like: What is the leading cause of decline in the local church? Is there is ever a time when a church may be too far gone and should close rather than attempt revitalization? How do you motivate a congregation to not only accept change but to embrace it for the good of the church? Shouldn’t a church deal with internal problems and issues before trying to reach beyond its four walls?  And how should it go about dealing with the issues? Finally, what is the process or formula for leading in an effective process of revitalization? www.operation-transformation.org [http://www.operation-transformation.org] The Go Center – www.pmacfepc.org [https://www.pmaofepc.org/the_go_center]
