Why Some Churches Choose to Die

Do some churches really choose to die? On the surface no church chooses to die but decisions we make or don’t make can lead to the death of a church. 

* They are not willing to accept the normal pain of change.
* They don't want to lose control.
* They confuse tradition with doctrine.
* They do not want to look like their community.
* They see a recent period of the past as biblically normative.







Revitalize & Replant is sponsored by the North American Mission Board and ChurchReplanters.com. More than 10% of churches in North America are at risk of closing and the North American Mission Board is committed to reversing this trend by decreasing the death rate of existing churches while simultaneously increasing the birth rate of new churches. To learn more about what it means to become a replanting pastor or to explore resources for replanting and revitalization in your own church, visit ChurchReplanters.com.
