Revitalize Churches
-
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.
