1. Church Revitalization
Breakout
SBCV Homecoming 2009 Rev. Stewart McCarter,
Pastor, Southside Baptist Church, Suffolk, VA

2. Indicators your church needs it
Well, Duh! Look around!
Baptize less than one person per 10 on role
Growing by less than 10% a year
Less than half of new members are new converts
No one is witnessing, or going on mission trips, or if you think building a house is missions.

3. What does a church look like?
A Family
A Closed Community with a wide open front door and open activity
A place that people want to come to
A place where you can get help, without judgmental-ism, but with sound judgment
A place where people are saved, sanctified, and seeking

4. What are the steps to revitalization
A right Pastor
A right People
A right Purpose
