The good news is that because of the nature of our God, nothing is impossible. No matter where a church finds itself on the Congregational Life Cycle it can find a new phase of life and health.
The bad news is that the further along the “decline” side of the graph a church is, the more dramatic and drastic the appropriate methods required are. They require greater effort, increased degrees of change, and corresponding levels disruption to the existing ways of operating as a church to get the result required.
