This document discusses the importance of leadership in driving church vitality. It identifies key indicators of a vital church as disciples engaging in worship, making new disciples, growing in faith, engaged in mission, and sharing resources for mission. These indicators tell the story of the underlying driver, which is often leadership. Both changing pastoral leadership or helping current pastoral leadership grow their skills can help drive church revitalization. The document calls for pastors to honestly assess their leadership and for denominations to help pastors improve. It poses questions around how to measure leadership growth for both clergy and lay people.
Making converts, gaining decisions, does not equal making disciples. It is essential we look at the right ideas, in the right way to make real disciples of King Jesus.
These are notes from a simple introductory course on Church Planting. The majority of the course notes presented here are based upon J. D. Payne’s Planting Apostolic Churches.
If you are a Christian educator looking to facilitate a discussion with your leadership team concerning change within your institution this PP would serve you well.

Making disciples who make disciples is at the heart of the call to follow Christ. Here are some notes on the gap between our intentions and practice (adapted from Greg Ogden's book, Transforming Discipleship).
A short introduction to key ideas from Sherry Weddell's "Forming Intentional Disciples" in the context of discipleship in the Catholic faith. More resources available at: http://practicalevangelization.wordpress.com/tag/resources-for-intentional-discipleship/
Jesus expected a process of change, growth and development in the life of his followers. Many writers suggest a three or four stage process. A four stage process is outlined here, along with personal challenge / application.
Important study on the Emergent Church and its infiltration into Protestantism and the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The Omega of apostasy will deceive many people, for the devil is behind it. Our only safety is in an abiding relationship with Jesus Christ, and serious study of the Bible.

The Profound Benefits Of Attending Church For Sending Prayer Requests.pptxChurch org
Church for sending Prayer Request is an essential foundation in numerous networks, whether individuals go for strict or nonreligious motivations to join in.
Focuses on the identity and role of the local church in God\'s mission, and how to mobilize the whole church for the whole mission of God in the world world.
Every church has growth barriers. Once you identify those barriers, developing strategies, structures, and systems to overcome those barriers is the key
God calls the Church and our parishes to grow. However, today many of our parishes lack a vision for making disciples, have few or no plans to grow, and can assume that their current members are growing and new disciples are being made, despite evidence to the contrary. In other words, our parishes can be more hopeful than honest. This workshop will address the pastoral reality and current practice of our parishes, offer a renewed vision for making disciples and evangelisation, and suggest practical actions that parishes can take to change the culture and focus of their ministries and groups. It will draw on research into best practice for Church growth both here in Australia and abroad and facilitate a conversation about the nature of parish leadership in this time of change and challenge for faith.

28. In Comeback Churches, we found that 60 percent of
revitalized churches we studied had changed their
senior pastor. That's a lot and might lead you to
conclude that you need a new pastor to get a
revitalization church.
But, not so fast—40 percent didn’t. Four in ten churches
that were revitalized experienced turnaround with the
same pastor who led the plateaued or declining church.
But, the 40 percent told us they had changed or
grown their leadership approach.
So, a part of the revitalization for your church is
either the pastoral leadership’s personal growth or a
change in leadership.
29. Pastors need to be honest and admit this and
denominations need a plan to help pastors be
better leaders.

Editor's Notes
Vital Signs - meant to help churches develop intentional process for growth in vital components of healthy congregations
Discovered 5 measurables…or indicators of a vital congregation
Goal is to have vital churches. Focus on the local church.
Mission of the UMC - Make Disciples of Jesus Christ for the trans of the world
-Conference does this through the local church - resourcing leaders
Just as a healthy person will show signs of being healthy - measurable
-blood pressure, BMI, flexibility, etc
A healthy church will show signs of being healthy - Vital Signs
Just as a healthy person will show signs of being healthy - measurable
-blood pressure, BMI, flexibility, etc
A healthy church will show signs of being healthy - Vital Signs
But the indicators - the measurable don’t help us unless we know what causes those numbers to climb.
What makes worship attendance climb? What makes Prof of faith increase?
So the question was posed: What are the drivers of the indicators of vitality
Simply: What makes these measurables move in a positive direction?
Towers Watson did extensive research that played a key role in the development of The Vital Congregations Report.
They discovered that there are 4 key drivers of vitality
-consistent across all types of churches (size, style, location, diversity, etc)
2 of those drivers are leadership - Lay Leadership and Pastor
-which brings up the question…how?
Remember - this research groups indicators into 3 categories
Leadership clearly affects the vitality of the local church
Cover pretty quickly
Remember - this research groups indicators into 3 categories
Leadership clearly affects the vitality of the local church
Example: Unhealthy person - needs to diet and exercise
-health measurables go up
-won’t indicate health until they become healthy
-change the things that drive health…you will change health
We measure the indicators…looking for positive change
Positive change in the indicators is created by positive change in the drivers
-and 40% of that is leadership (conservative % as leadership affects other drivers)
Example: Unhealthy person - needs to diet and exercise
-health measurables go up
-won’t indicate health until they become healthy
-change the things that drive health…you will change health

This is how the Conference makes disciples of JC for the transformation of the world
Resource and equip the local church with the leadership that will lead to vital churches…thus seeing an upward trajectory of the measurables.
