Transformational Church Consultants Available

Is there a secret to transforming believers into disciples? What does it take for a church to be transformational? Why are some churches consistently creating disciples whose lives are being transformed by the Gospel and others are not? To find out LifeWay conducted a comprehensive research study of the modern American church. It involved contact with more than 7,000 churches and personal interviews with 300 church leaders.  Ed Stetzer and Thom Rainer share the results in Transformational Church: Creating a New Scorecard for Congregations

The significance and breadth of the Transformational Church research is unprecedented and revealing – God is doing amazing things in today’s churches. We have the evidence of that activity, and the characteristics are apparent. These churches are where disciples are becoming more like Jesus and the church acts more like the body of Christ, transforming their communities and the world for the kingdom of God.

But Transformational Church is not a church model or some plug-and-play formula. It’s an organic combination of seven key elements that other churches are using to become transformational.  The Transformational Church Assessment Tool (TCAT) gives you a snapshot of the perceived present reality based on the seven elements: missionary mentality, vibrant leadership, relational intentionality, prayerful dependence, worship, community and mission. This powerful online tool can help you quickly assess where your church is strong now and the areas that need development.

The assessment is now available through the SCBO website (www.lifeway.com/tc/ohio/). We have fourteen trained consultants in Ohio ready to partner with you to develop strategy recommendations for your church.
