Church revitalization

Statistics tell us that approximately 70% of Protestant churches around the nation are plateaued or declining. But we believe that most of these churches can see positive growth again!

Welcome to Church Revitalization and Renewal for New England Pastors. The BCNE has proven tools for revitalization — and we’re ready to walk alongside you, providing resources and coaching to help you implement a contextualized revitalization process at your church. A church in need of revitalization should walk through metrics and measures. Our church revitalization director and team can help guide you through these four levels to get your church started on the journey towards revitalization and renewal.

Revitalization isn’t quick or easy, but if you’re ready to invest the time and energy necessary, the Holy Spirit can breathe new life into your ministry and church.

Dr. Gary Moritz is the Director of Church Revitalization for the Baptist Churches of New England. Gary also serves as the lead pastor of City United Church in Lunenburg, MA, which has been recognized as one of the 100 Top Reproducing Churches in America by Outreach Magazine. Gary has a passion for revitalizing churches and fostering leaders through resources, development, and counseling. He works as a Subject Matter Expert in Church Revitalization for Liberty University and recently established The Church Vitality Network, an online network for churches to find health in pastoring, revitalization, and renewal.
