5 Revitalization Principles
every church needs to experience
1 A fresh, biblically based vision from the Lord
REVITALIZATION For churches which have plateaued or experienced
decline. Particularly suited to churches wanting to make changes one
project at a time.
2 Restored unity of the people
RE-ENGINEERING For churches in substantial decline or in need of a
“total makeover.” The systems-oriented approach will be to get the church
healthy and functional again.
5 Life-giving empowerment by the Holy Spirit
3 Mobilizing members to do the will of the Lord
4 Renewed commitment to outreach & evangelism
In order to see these things become realities, we
provide help for pastors & the church as a whole.
RE-STARTING For churches “near death,” this track offers the hope of
beginning again as mission of a sponsoring congregation.
NETWORK For churches developing church revitalization ministries and/or
partnering to revitalize other churches.

TRANSITIONAL
PASTOR TRAINING
August 11-12
North Richland Hills BC,
Fort Worth
When a pastor leaves, a time of transition in the
life of the church begins. Many churches need
transitional pastors with experience and ministry
gifts that ensure high-quality leadership.
Skills a transitional pastor need
are spiritual discernment, leadership, pastoral
care, proclamation, relationship and conflict
management.

For young pastors and all who desire to
see young pastors succeed, connecting
with each other through prayer and
encouragement.
Forge events are designed to meet the
growing needs of pastors and are not
merely information driven, but meant to
capture hearts, foster authentic dialogue
and lifetime friendships.
