Church experts Thom and Sam Rainer estimate that 8,000 to 10,000 churches will close this year. Many churches have plateaued or are in serious decline with the median size church now at around 60 in weekend attendance. Barnabas Ministries of Michigan has launched the Barnabas Center for Church Revitalization composed of a team of men whom the Lord has used to help revitalize churches. The program consists of two retreats with one year of coaching in between. The opening retreat is populated by the leaders of 10 churches who will form a cohort for mutual encouragement and accountability. Our country needs gospel preaching churches to not only Survive but Thrive.
(This retreat is full but contact us if you are interested in future retreats)

A workshop with a dash of HERM and a dose of HOM to enliven your preaching. Hermeneutics will inform your sermons but crafting them to capture an audience is crucial! Even the most experienced communicators can benefit from time intentionally set aside to refresh and refine their skills. Join us as we gather at the Lodge to sharpen the preaching iron of one another. The cost of the retreat is $300 per person.
At this workshop we will discuss:
- Finding the heart of the passage
- Getting in and out of a sermon, and making sense in between
- Breathing fresh air into the presentations
