| KBC Plans ‘Comeback Churches’ Event with Ed Stetzer |
| Release Date: 02/13/2008 |
LOUISVILLE – Church leaders seeking to revitalize weakened congregations will benefit from the Kentucky Baptist Convention’s Comeback Churches Seminar on March 25 at First Baptist Church, Bowling Green.
Seminar topics are based on concepts presented in Comeback Churches: How 300 Churches Turned Around and Yours Can Too, a popular church revitalization book released in 2007 by LifeWay Christian Resources. Ed Stetzer, the book’s co-author, will lead the seminar.
Sponsored by the KBC’s Church Development Team, the event will run from 10 a.m.– 2:30 p.m.
“This event will provide church leaders with practical suggestions for developing growth strategies in their own context,” said Alan Witham, interim Church Development Team leader and field strategist for the KBC. “Participants will hear what has actually worked to stimulate growth in churches much like theirs.”
According to Witham, the KBC's Church Development Team will be following up with churches desiring to make a comeback after the event. Plans are underway for a Comeback Church Process that will further equip churches for growth, he said.
Stetzer co-authored the book with Mike Dodson, a pastor and church strategist based in Meadville, Penn. Stetzer currently serves as director of LifeWay Research and as LifeWay’s missiologist in residence. LifeWay Christian Resources is based in Nashville, Tenn.
The cost to register for the event is $20 per person, which includes lunch and all seminar materials. For more information, or to register, visit www.kybaptist.org/comeback, call 502-489-3335 or 866-489-3335, or e-mail churchdevelopment@kybaptist.org.
