Is our congregation in a size transition? What are the signs? Can our congregation cross the size barrier we are facing? Do we, in fact, have a vocation to make room for more people? Alban senior consultant Alice Mann helps congregations to recognize six possible size transitions: three resulting from growth and three resulting from contraction. The video explains what it will take to navigate the change from one size to another, why congregations choose to make the sacrifices needed to grow, and how to develop a plan for growth.
Four sessions are:
Session 1 (20min): What size are we?; Are we facing a size transition?
Session 2 (17min): What happens between sizes?; Why are we stuck?
Session 3 (13min): Should we be growing?; Why make the sacrifice?
Session 4 (17min): What will it take to make the change?
Special-Issues Sessions (30min)
Do we have space limitations?; Should we add a new worship service?; Should we add staff?
