The most difficult ministry a church ever tries is attempting to turn around a dying church. And the second most difficult task is trying to transition a healthy church designed for a past generation into one ready to reach a new generation. Over 80 percent of pastors who attempt it fail and many either leave the church after three years; they’re fired; or they give up.

So, Should You Even Try?

Only if you feel called to do it and you’re passionate enough to wade through the mess.

DON’T ATTEMPT TURNAROUND
UNLESS YOU FEEL IT’S GOD’S WILL
AND YOU’RE TOTALLY COMMITTED TO IT.
IT MAY COST YOU YOUR LIVELIHOOD!

Meet The Effective Church Group

Every member of The Effective Church Group swam the dangerous waters of turnaround and didn’t just survive, we thrived. We know firsthand the difficulty of turning around churches. We know the stress, the fear, the loneliness, and over the years we learned some things … we know what it takes to be successful at it.

We were faced with opposition

And the truth is … if you have what it takes to lead a church turnaround effort, you’ll likely experience most of the same problems and stumbling blocks and walls that we did.

You don’t even have to make the same mistakes we made. We’ll walk with you through the mine fields of your church turnaround. The chief reason we put together this website was to provide pastors and church leaders the foresight and the resources needed to get a church turnaround started. And so we gathered up some of our best resources to get you started.

We’ve included tools like:

• Multiple training videos that address the basic steps of a church turnaround
• How-to training docs on leading a turnaround
• Regular church turnaround update emails to keep you motivated and provide just-in-time support

Successful turnarounds are few and far between.
But if you’re convinced God’s calling you to grab a wet tiger by its tail, then sign up below.
