    Defining Success in a Church Revitalization: A Three-Part Series – Part 2: Why Numerical Growth Is Not Always the Best Indicator of Success Jun 09, 2022
    Show notes

    We often hear from church leaders who desire to know exactly what success looks like in a church revitalization. The word “success” is loaded and tends to evoke a lot of emotions. In this three-part series, Mark and Thom provide clarity and guidance about this term. In the second episode, they look at why numerical growth is not always a measure of church revitalization success.

    • At some points, slowing the decline rate is a success.
    • Most revitalization efforts will result in some members leaving.
    • The past is not always the measure for the present.
    • The size of the building is not the point.
    • Numbers simply cannot measure everything.

    Show notes

    One of the most common questions we get in church revitalization is: “How can we get extra funding to help our church?

    2. Plan and promote extensively.

    3. Get as many members involved as possible.

    4. Get the community involved.

    5. Have a physical garage sale and a digital yard sale.

    6. Have a clear and focused purpose.

    How to Increase Income in a Revitalization: A Three-Part Series – Part 2: The Stewardship of Planned Giving Apr 07, 2022

In this three-part series, Kevin and Thom look at three ways to get extra income that are not often utilized by churches. In part 2, they examine the idea of planned giving in the church.

    1. Our definition of planned giving: from a church member’s estate.

    2. Most churches don’t broach this subject.

    3. It can be a life insurance policy.

    4. It does not have to exclude the family of the deceased.

    5. It becomes a part of the legacy of the church member.
