In this session of eHuddle, Tyler Long, the Personal Ministries Director for the Washington Conference, shares insights on the importance of church revitalization. He emphasizes that leadership is crucial, citing John Maxwell's quote, "Everything rises and falls on leadership." Tyler explains the need for strong pastoral leadership, likening pastors to different levels of evangelistic interest—A, B, C, and D. He stresses the importance of defining and owning the church's reality, particularly through tracking key metrics like baptisms and attendance. By regularly reviewing these at church board meetings, churches can assess their vitality—whether multiplying, growing, plateauing, or declining. If a church is in decline, Tyler advises changing the systems in place, as they are directly responsible for the current results. Watch it here.
