Church Revitalization
Southeastern is partnering with the Revitalize Network and Church Answers to provide The M.A. in Church Revitalization. This 37-hour vocational degree is designed to equip students to move established churches from flatlining to flourishing. Students desiring to enroll in this program must hold a bachelor’s degree (or its equivalent) and currently serve on staff at a local church or denominational entity.
The Revitalize Network is a non-profit organization that has the goal of seeing 200,000 churches replanted and revitalized through partnership with LifeWay Christian Resources, the North American Mission Board and Brentwood Baptist Church. The Revitalize Network seeks not only to provide resources to pastors called to revitalize and replant, but the organization also equips churches by helping them connect with one another. Church Answers is an organization that provides consulting for church leaders through digital platforms, including monthly coaching emails, online discussions with other pastors and online resources from Thom Rainer’s blog and podcast. Various levels of resources and consultation are available.
