Leading the Church

Up until the Fall, humanity drew their support and substance directly from God, in perfect relation, and when they fell it was all gone.

How to rebuild after a pastor leaves, even in a fall from grace.

To rebuild any church, whether it is from the retirement of a great pastor, the fall of another, a history of spiritual neglect from its leaders, or the slow backslide of apathy or liberalism, we have to be willing to reset.

How to recover your church after a pastor leaves, even in a fall

The statistics for pastors who fall is about 20%. Nearly 50% of pastors starting out will not last beyond five years in ministry for reasons of burnout and frustration. Just 1 out of every 10 pastors will actually retire as a minister in some form. Now, compare that to that 4,000 new churches beginning each year, while 7,000 churches close. We have some rebooting and rebuilding to do!
