His conclusion is: \u201cNothing about a dying church brings glory to God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll be encouraged by stories of transformation \u2013 churches that have experienced a renewed season of ministry and health. One of these is Wornall Road Baptist Church, the congregation Mark pastored in Kansas City, Missouri. Once a vibrant and healthy church in the heart of Kansas City, when Mark arrived the congregation averaged 18 people in a sanctuary that sat over 600. Over the next decade, the Lord used Mark to replant Wornall, leading it to experience new life and ministry to its local community.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also be equipped as he shares different pathways for dying churches, six replanting imperatives and 13 characteristics of effective replanters.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you are a long-time pastor of an existing church that is experiencing decline or embarking on a new journey with a church that needs to be revitalized or replanted, you\u2019ll find this new version of <em>Reclaiming Glory<\/em> to be an invaluable resource.<\/p>\n<p>This edition includes discussion questions at the end of each chapter, as well as short videos to accompany each chapter, which are available for free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhpublishinggroup.com\/reclaiming-glory\/#video-study\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Get this book.
