Church revitalisation is ultimately a work of God. There is no formula for renewal, and no strategy can manufacture spiritual life. Yet when we look at churches that have experienced significant and sustained revitalisation, certain patterns and trends emerge. Drawing on research into church revitalisation, this workshop will explore the factors that appear to be vitally important in helping declining churches rediscover health, growth, and mission, and consider what we can learn from them as we prayerfully seek God’s renewing work in our own churches.
