Strengthening
The Baptist State Convention of Michigan helps churches take their next step to accelerate Gospel movement. Regardless of whether a church has declined, plateaued or is struggling with the next stage of growth, we want to provide the resources and guidance churches need to be healthy and thriving.

Be The Church
​
-
80% of churches are plateaued or declining.
-
10% of churches are on a trajectory toward death.
-
900 - 1,000 churches die every year in the Southern Baptist Convention.
The numbers are alarming, but there is hope. Churches can experience renewed health and vitality in their ministry.
​
BeTheChurch.org is an excellent source to develop healthy leaders who strengthen and start churches to advance a Gospel movement!
