Understanding the Strategic and Sequential natures of
the 6 R’s of Church Renewal
The renewal of a church always begins with those
who seek the Lord through prayer by asking for guidance, seeking help
and knocking on doors of opportunity. This usually results in a Titus
Task Force Church Weekend Assessment. The Titus Team sees an assessment
as a response to your seeking help, and the assessment report as
identifying the doors of opportunity available to you. The Strategy of
Renewal is generally progressive in nature as exhibited in the
sequential nature of our
Six Steps of Renewal..
First, the clarifying
and resolving of conflicts
disarms those who are in combative relationships within the
congregation, and allows for the healing of the wounded. This is
on-the-job training for the church leadership and members in doing the
work of peacemaking.
Second, the restoring
of leadership is begun through the resolving of conflicts. By taking
ownership of the problems, the church leaders demonstrate the process of
repentance and forgiveness while learning to be pro-active problem
solvers and to think strategically for the advancement of the Kingdom of
God.
Thirdly, the refocusing
of the church in its Biblical purpose (mission) of
“discipling the nations.” is begun by the strategy of 1)
clarifying of values 2) consensus on a vision and 3) the planning,
preparation (training) and support of the “saints doing the work of
the ministry.” This takes place after the learning experience of the
first two steps.
Fourthly, the regrouping
of the church is manifested with the seeking, recruiting and bonding
of various ministry teams by the
Servant-Leadership Team’s modeling. This process is finalized
in the transition of the Servant-Leadership Team and Intentional Interim
Pastor to the new Senior Pastor and Pastoral Team.
Fifthly, the revitalizing
of worship comes by providing a safe refuge for celebration and
contemplative worship and empowering the saints to 1) seek out avenues of
ministry 2) utilize their spiritual gifts for the corporate good of the
Body 3) come under the authority and support-mentoring of the church’s
servant-leaders.
Sixth, the re-staffing
of the new pastoral team is completed with the prayerful selection,
calling and installation of the new Senior Pastor. The installation is a
key transition event as the Intentional Interim passes the baton of
pastoral leadership to the new Senior Pastor.
