Growing the Post-pandemic Church

Dr. Bob Whitesel looks at radical changes coming to the American church and suggests that now is the time to rethink how we do church, including:

• Growth strategies for churches with aging buildings, plateaued/declining attendance, overbuilt sanctuaries or underfunded staffs.
• New church alternatives such as pub churches, café churches, online churches, partnership churches and churches led by bi- or co- vocational pastors.
• Biblical foundations to increase survivability.
• "St. Paul's Guide to Leading Remotely," based on Paul's theology and practice in his letters.
• 10 leadership skills needed in the "eReformation" for better electronic communication.
• Organic steps any church can do to build bridges across racial divides.
