This is the third part in the “Will My Church Need a Transitional Pastor?” Deep-dive. Today we will discuss some more signs you can look for in your church. A church in ‘Recline” or “Decline”; Physical improvements are all over 10 years old; Disagreement among the elders over the mission or vision of the church, and; Loss of trust n, or on-going complaints about the leaders. As you listen , think about your church; are we describing your church? If so, and if you would like to talk to us more about the process of doing your own internal deep-dive, we want to help you. After you finish this episode send us an e-mail so we can talk with you.
Could your church be unknowingly heading towards decline? Discover the essential signs that indicate when your church might benefit from a transitional pastor in our latest episode of the Church Renewal Podcast from Flourish Coaching. We break down Ken Pretty's church life cycle, which spans 40-50 years and includes phases of incline, recline, and decline. Learn how to identify if your church is in a vibrant incline phase or if it’s slipping into the dangerous territory of recline and decline. We reveal how churches in the latter phases may need to reassess their leadership and strategies to rekindle their growth and mission.
Uncover the transformative power of a transitional pastor during times of uncertainty and division within your church. In the second part of our conversation, we explore the unique advantages of having a transitional pastor who, without long-term ambitions, can guide the congregation to rediscover their collective mission and vision. This process not only fosters a unified identity but also makes your church more appealing to potential new pastors. Plus, we delve into how the application of the Gospel and grace by a transitional pastor can promote healing and unity, bringing both leadership and congregation together in humility and love. Join us for a compelling discussion that could be the key to renewing your church’s future.
