Church Revitalization Webinar
Join Roger Shenk for "Befriending a New Vision," a candid discussion about leading an established church through a renewal process without dishonoring the past or the people who still find meaning in it.
Relevant topics will include the roles of prayer and preaching, befriending new people who question doctrines with which we identify, helping people navigate the fears of displacement, and the principle of "the Fridge."
Roger is pastor of Bahia Vista Mennonite Church in Sarasota, Florida, a sixty-year-old congregation that is taking bold yet thoughtful steps to revitalize its approach to ministry. Today the church is growing and befriending people of all ages with the love of Christ through community, worship, and service.
