Church Health

Helping churches prepare for and position their ministries to share the gospel and make disciples in the future years.

“The church is good at huddling, but (Jesus) said, ‘I want you to go!’”

On Tuesday morning, Jonathan Smith, director of Church Health Strategy at Texas Baptists, led a workshop focused on church revitalization at the 2022 Annual Meeting. The workshop looked at ways churches can kickstart revitalization in their own, unique contexts.

“Having this knowledge can make the church relevant again in the public sphere of ideas and influence,”

“It was an exciting thing to see the students get behind it,”

“The Great Commission was given to the church, and yet we see throughout scripture that it starts at the home,”

“As soon as they step off the bus they’re asking about the next year,”

“It’s so important that we stand up and show up for children, because that’s what the Lord does for us,”

"We want to teach our students that everyone they interact with should walk away feeling like they’ve been seen, known and heard, just like Jesus would treat them,”
