Is Your Church in Plateau or Decline?

Many church leaders today are feeling stuck. Attendance is down. Giving is down. Volunteers aren’t stepping up to the plate. Leaders who once felt empowered now feel puzzled, wondering why they aren’t connecting with their community like they used to. Instead of going backwards, you and your leadership team can partner with God in discerning a new way forward for your church.

  • Wishing you could get people to return who left during Covid
  • Experiencing the loss of friends, colleagues, donors and members
  • Feeling the financial stress of lower giving and higher needs
  • Looking for partnerships and pathways out of plateau and decline
  • Lacking clarity around where your church is headed in the next 5 years
  • Wondering how much longer your church will be around at this rate

You're Not Alone

Most of the pastors and leadership teams we talk with are having a hard time discerning what God is doing to revitalize their churches. Too often, they blame themselves or others for the rut they feel they’re in. 

The truth is we’ve all been there. We are tired of experts, formulas, and step by step protocols to get more members in the door. That’s why we formed Cyclical Full Circle: to join churches like yours in seeking pathways to health and vitality. As we guide churches, we discover ways to faithfully innovate forward. We use the word faithfully because we honor the stories that have come before us. And use the word innovate because we know we need to shrewdly adapt to shifting contexts. 

Throughout the journey, some churches are relieved to discover that it’s time to close the doors and release resources for Kingdom purposes they can be proud of. And some churches discern a path to revitalize their church and discover God afresh in their community. Whatever the path we discern together, our goal is to join with you in creating tomorrow’s church today.

“Never in this world have I seen anything more compromised, more false [than the Church], yet never have I touched anything more pure, more generous, or more beautiful. Countless times I have felt like slamming the door of my soul in Your face – and yet, every night I have prayed that I might die in Your sure arms.”
Carlo Carretto
Poet
