The time for revitalization and renewal is now; sick and declining churches are all across America. Will the people of God be lead like days of old when the shepherds of God boldly served the church of God and led His people to remember why they exist and to whom they belong? With such an absence of missionary mandates from our missionary agencies, the challenge is for the theological institutions across the convention to pick up the slack and prepare the new army of church revitalizers.
Practical, Effective, and Helpful Over 80% of American churches are in decline or plateau. Every year, 3500 churches die in North America. Every month, 1600 evangelical pastors in the United States leave the ministry. There is a desperate need for God-called men who will take up the ministry of church revitalization. This book was written for those men. In "The Nuts and Bolts of Church Revitalization," Tom Cheyney and Terry Rials give practical and effective strategies that can revitalize any church. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to see the dead dry bones of a church live again.
