TRBA believes that we are to walk with the individual church and to assist them in whatever they have discerned God is leading them to become to the community where He has placed them. The end product will be what the church decides as they go. TRBA Staff will work with/walk alongside them during the process.
We have established our "corner piece" course as the platform we will use to help our churches move towards church revitalization. The church might NOT be ready for this at present, but every church needs to familiarize themselves with the process to learn what is involved. Church revitalization has never been an easy task. Churches most often fail due to a lack of commitment. If you (as pastor/ministerial staff), your church leadership - especially the revitalization team, and the general membership does not know what is expected, then you will be doing the church a disservice to try to take them forward before they are ready.
Our overall recommendation is to invite TRBA Staff and Team Leaders into your church to explain what we currently offer as well as what we might be able to offer if the churches have interest. Discuss the preparation needed for the platform study, as well as the prayer and personal preparation before the church begins the process at all.
We will also offer leadership development, church leader job-specific training, etc. to help members prepare themselves to lead the church towards His new normal. As individual members determine to become better prepared to serve the church through the leadership training offered by the association, the church will be leaning more and more towards church revitalization and will be ready to bring there leadership/church revitalization team through Phase One of the platform training.
