Church Revitalization Downloads
It is the vision of the North Central Conference Church Revitalization Team to encourage Churches to health and growth through bold, apostolic leaders who seek to bring Christ to their communities. As part of making this vision a reality, at Annual Conference 2012, the NCC will invest in one church by providing up to $12,000 yearly for two years.
If your church is planning a new or expanded mission focused ministry you may want to apply for the New Life Partnership. Maybe those plans will call for a full time pastor, part time staff or increased advertising or something else “out-of-the-box”? Please use this application to share your church’s vision, plans and goals to bring the new life of Christ to your community.
If your church is selected for the New Life Partnership, a small team will consult with your pastor and church board. Ongoing coaching and support will be provided towards the fulfillment of your churches vision and goals.

Church Revitalization
Jeff Suits directs church revitalization for the NCC.
New in 2012, the Revitalization Team is making New Life Partneships available. Applications to fund projects up to 12,000 a year are being taken through the end of March 2012.
Churches seeking revitalization investment funds must work through the Natural Church Development process. Through a careful, prayerful, theologically sound, diagnostic of church health and action steps to address clearly identified plans for growing healthier, NCC churches can grow healthier and, often as a result, larger through conversion growth.
