Strategy supports revitalization, but it cannot replace spiritual work. Lasting renewal grows from prayer, repentance, humility, and formation. Churches are revitalized from the inside out, not by plans alone.

A willing church agrees change is needed. A ready church has accepted the cost of that change. Revitalization stalls when leaders confuse the two. Discernment, patience, and formation help churches move from willingness to readiness.

Revival begins with obedience, not programming. These ten resolutions help churches align priorities around prayer, unity, discipleship, simplicity, and community engagement as they seek renewal in the new year.

Church buildings are often underused while surrounding communities change and grow. Sharing space with other churches or ministries is not a sign of decline but faithful stewardship. When churches with distinct cultures partner in the same space, they expand mission, reach people they could not reach alone, and model unity in the body of Christ.
