Church Revitalisation

(10 Week Online Training Course)

Leader

David Brown planted three churches before revitalising a church in central Paris. For many years he was involved with GBU (Groupes Bibliques Universitaires), the French student movement affiliated with IFES. More recently he has been promoting church revitalisation through his chairmanship of the Evangelism Commission of the French “National Council of Evangelicals” and through his teaching and mentoring at the Bible Institutes in Geneva and Paris and by leading a range of seminars and workshops in France and across Europe.

 

Overview

The Church Revitalisation Training Course is a ten-week online interactive course, which aims to present a biblical vision and principles for church revitalization. David Brown will focus on the “how to ‘s” of bringing revitalisation to build healthy growing churches.

Topics Covered

  • The Need for Revitalisation: Symptoms and Causes

  • The Biblical Basis for Revitalisation

  • The Framework of a Healthy Church

  • The Implementation of Revitalisation

  • An honest look at the situation of a local church

  • Implementing social change (relationships)

  • Adapting to Changes in Society

  • Implementing spiritual change (in the gathered church)

  • Resistance to Change

  • Possible Outcomes of the Revitalisation Process.

The course is run for 8 to 12 people in English, with the goal of working with leaders who go through the course to eventually offer a 10-week course in their own country language.

The ten-week-long training track will involve weekly interactive Zoom sessions. Prior to each session, trainees will need to watch a short training video, read a short article and undertake a short written assignment.

Trainees will need to set aside about two to three hours a week for this track (75-90 minutes virtual meeting, 30 minutes watching the training videos, 15 minutes reading and 30 minutes of writing assignment).
