Let’s go inside two different mergers. One looks through the eyes of the joining church, exploring what led up to starting the merger conversation, what issues they needed to work through, what they feared and hoped, and how the merger went. A second case study looks through the eyes of the lead church: How did they staff for it? How did they guide their congregation through it? How did they help the joining church feel valued and honored?
In both studies we’ll address issues from finances to culture to growth and serial mergers. Plus we’ll field lots of audience Q&A. This will be a great learning adventure!
Learn pitfalls to avoid and leverage good ideas. Church mergers are happening left and right. Did you know that church planters are finding welcome homes in merger churches? That 40% of multisite campuses come through a merger? That healthy mergers are working in many other ways, such as pastoral succession strategies and denominational revitalization/replant strategies? We’re convinced God is up to something, and we’d love to hear your take on it.
