| Description: |
Declining or plateauing rural churches do not have to die; they can live and become an influence for good in their communities. Unfortunately, many rural churches will close after decades of faithful service. Revitalizing a declining or plateauing rural church requires visionary pastoral leadership and the cooperative work of lay leaders. In this book, Davis explores real-life experiences of rural pastors and lay-leaders who have led their congregations to a turnaround. He provides an honest and sometimes painful glimpse into the realities of leading a declining rural church, including his own, back to life. Through these experiences, you will learn to navigate a myriad of cultural and changes needed to revitalize your dying or plateauing rural congregation. The journey to rural church turnaround is hard, but Davis lays out the leadership characteristics and actions essential to making it happen. Chapters: The decline of the rural church; Life Point Church; Transformational leadership and the rural church; New Life Church – Barnett; Licking Assembly of God; New Life Church – Farmington; Communication and conflict; Facing challenges head on; The pattern within the turnaround experience; The language of the turnaround experience; The realities of the turnaround experience; Revitalizing small rural churches.
