New Life for Your Congregation?

Does your congregation face a crisis of energy and commitment? There is no such thing as a “magic bullet,” but the ELCA did identify three factors always present in healthy, spiritually alive congregations:

  1. Commitment to & participation in what God is already doing in the community
  2. Willingness to change for the sake of the Gospel
  3. Ever-increasing shared leadership between pastor and lay leaders - all rooted in Bible study, discussion and prayer

The Transformational Ministry process is not a program or a project, rather it is an ongoing process of renewal that involves the whole congregation. The recently formed Upper Susquehanna Synod Transformational Ministry Team is prepared to lead you in this series of congregational renewal events for your church and two or more neighboring congregations at YOUR site and according to YOUR calendar!  For more information on how to start on the path of congregational renewal please call: Rev. Karl-John Stone karljohn@uss-elca.org or Beth Yenchko eyenchko@uss-elca.org at 570-524-9778.
