Buildings are tools for ministry, not the mission itself. If fear, nostalgia, or control shape how space is used, your church may be serving the building—not Jesus. These 10 signs can help you spot the warning lights.

Summer might feel like a lull in church life, but it is the perfect season to prepare for revitalization. Use this time to assess where your church stands, clarify your mission, and intentionally plan for the fall. Do not waste the quiet—use it to build momentum.

Most churches either underuse social media or overwhelm it with noise. This post walks through simple best practices to help churches use social media as a front porch to their ministry—starting with setting up their page correctly, posting with purpose, showing real faces, and engaging with people, not just announcing events. Bonus tip: if you ever draw a blank on what to post, ask AI to help brainstorm ideas that fit your mission.

Traditional events have their place, but true outreach means listening to your community, thinking smaller and more often, and making it personal. Creative outreach helps your church build meaningful relationships that lead to real revitalization.
