Sherwood Forrest, El Sabrunte, CAChurch Growth Revivals

Staying Relevant to the world around us is a must if we are to reach our generation for Christ. Many of our churches find themselves with aging congregations and young people leaving never to return.

Roy developed Staying Relevant in the 21st Century to help churches take a serious look at how well they relate to the communities they seek to minister to. The services look at where people are now compared to 40 years ago. It helps each individual honestly evaluate his church/ministry, which will helps gain an understanding of how well they relate to the people they are trying to reach. With that knowledge in mind, a detailed look at 6 different areas in ministry is done which can make or break a church’s effectiveness in reaching the 21st Century World. The findings are shared with church leaders in detail, helping them to understand the world they are trying to reach, appreciate what is being doing right, and identify ways to enhance the ministry’s ability to reach our world in this century.

Staying Relevant In The 21st Century  is presented normally in a 5 session revial format beginning on Sunday morning and ending on Wednesday night. An invitation for specific commitments is given at the close of each service.

 The pastor receives a detailed written snapshot of the church’s:

 Strengths to build on.

Weaknesses to work on.

Opportunities to capitalize on.

Threats which should be addressed immediately.

Suggestions are given on things the church might do to move forward and realize future growth. For more information please click on Contact Roy below.
