Reclaiming the Church
Research on the rapid decline of the Church reveals at least
3 informative threshold facts:
​
1. There appears to be a Great Commission omission [Mathew 28:19]. Churches are inwardly focused instead of "...go and make disciples of all nations..."
​
2. Healthy Churches are moving from the old 'attraction' model ( if we build religious programming, they will come) to a Church mission outreach concept.
​
3. Healthy Churches are also recognizing that Jesus did not come to earth to establish a religious institution but to teach the WAY. Therefore, such Churches prioritize developing numerous innovative ministry strategies to reach the diverse populations in their mission fields.

*Six Characteristics of a Troubled Organization
Is your Church in Decline? Failing? In a Death Spiral?
The reasons for decline & the pathways to recovery fall under the following topics
1. One or more glaring problems which can no longer be ignored
2. A disconnect with the populations for which the organization exists to serve, lack of comprehension of current human issues, no plan or vision forward, having forgotten its mission, purpose & who the Church actually is
3. A lack of transparency/ ineffective communication internally & externally
4. A normalizing of organizational disfunction & decline (denial by Leadership)
5. Well intentioned Leadership unwilling to ask for help when they do not know how to stop the decline & reverse the disfunction & downward spiral
6. Long established, inflexible problem solving & organizational processes & policy patterns
