There’s nothing quite like the sadness of being a part of a dying church.
There’s the burden of maintaining a big, empty and often very dated looking building. There’s the ghost of happier days that seem constantly to haunt their memories and gatherings.

Here’s are six bold moves I’ve seen or studied that can be used by God to resurrect your church.
