Preparing for the Great Reset | Right now, a lot of people in ministry are barely keeping their heads above water. A recent Barna study found that 29 percent of pastors have contemplated a career change in the last year. With all the massive changes Covid has thrown at churches, it’s not difficult to understand why so many are eying the exit. Yet for those who survive this challenging season, there will be opportunities on the other side. As Kyuboem Lee writes, “Our journey through the crisis of the pandemic could be an opportunity for the church to reset, pivot from old patterns, look afresh at the future, and wholly embrace the journey of becoming its true self for such a time as this.” To get a glimpse of some of those opportunities, read Lee’s article: How Might the COVID-19 Crisis Reshape our Churches for Good? Also, check out our Guide to New Church Models. This special report provides you with an overview of the model-rich landscape of church ministry and the ways in which churches are connecting like never before. |
