HealthyChurchesThrive

God uses Healthy Churches Thrive! to bring a missional “awakening” to the local church. According to those who study revivals throughout history, an “awakening” occurs in the church before revival takes place in the world, as healthy churches reach out. Transformational change is described in Romans 12:2, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by a complete renewal of your mind.”

This occurs in a process, overtime.This leads, by God’s grace, to “repentance” in the true sense of the word: a change of your mind to change direction. The direction for this process is from maintenance to effective
mission through social networks—the platform for 21st century ministry. It is more like a movement. It is more caught than taught. It is a spiritual pilgrimage for 18 months of intervention. It does not end when the process is completed. The church experiences a new,
refreshed chapter of history. You can expect:
• Increased quality of spiritual life
• Biblical worldviews for mission and ministry
• Effective outreach to your community
• A stewardship culture for your financial future
• Mobilization of the whole church in mission
• Leadership development through a learning
• Coaching for the pastor/key leaders
• Development of a Vision Council for prayer, encouragement, and support

This is for your church if you have a passion to:
• Impact 21st century Postmoderns
• Reach your community
• Mobilize the majority of your church for ministry
• Raise up a new generation of leaders
• Learn through kairos moments and outside intervention

Members of a thriving church increase in:
• Spiritual growth • Bible study
• Biblical stewardship • Financial giving
• Increased involvement • Effective outreach through social networks
• Measurable plans for mission and ministry • Expanded joy and enthusias
