Return to me, and I will return to you, says the LORD. Malachi 3:7
Church Revitalization is not a program offered by the denomination, the result of a campaign energized by a new leader, nor a life-line delaying the closure of the church for a few more years. Churches are revitalized when the Spirit of God moves in the hearts of people causing them to make some hard changes and re-commitments.
Be a part of a HOME Group study starting September 1, or let Pastor Frank know how we can help you participate if you are not in a HOME Group. The seven biblical steps that we will explore in Return to Me are highlighted below. We will study each step for two Sundays in our HOME Groups and participants will have daily opportunities for personal Bible study and guided reflection during the week.
- Honest confession of where they drifted from God and God's mission.
- Emptying themselves of all pride from the successes of the past.
- A willingness to do things differently.
- Supporting and praying for renewed leadership.
- A renewed focus on being on mission with God in the community.
- Experiencing a holy desperation in praying for church revitalization.
- Removing anything that stands in the way of church unity.
- Refocusing on evangelism.
