Our goal is to build relationships that promote a deep love for God and our neighbors.We achieve this by supporting churches in health, leadership, and revitalization, helping pastors develop their leadership skills, providing encouragement for their wellness, and investing in young men who are answering God's call.
Training Associational Teams (RPL)
Training for Associational Revitalization Teams, Transitional Pastors, and Interim Pastors seeking to serve churches in decline or at-risk of closure.
RE Pastor
Cohorts
RE, a cohort for pastors, is a movement of God’s leadership seeking to strengthen God’s Church and transform a community through the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. RE is not a manual for church revitalization, but a journey to help you fulfill your calling as pastor leading an at risk church toward a hopeful future.
