Definition of Church Revitalization Church revitalization is the process in which a church is renewed in their determination to experience healthy and sustained spiritual, numerical, and organizational growth by refocusing on their God- given mission as expressed through their obedience to Scripture.

Elements of Biblical Revitalization Balanced (Spiritual, Numerical, and Organizational) Sustainable (takes place over the long Haul) Driven by Vision (God’s Plan for God’s Church) Facilitated by Faithful Preaching (The Pulpit is greatest Revitalization Tool) Sustained by Prayer (Must hear from God, if this is God’s plan).
