Choose Your Route: Life Cycle and Stages The Ten Stages: Old Age For a graphical view of the ten stages, see my chart, The Life Cycle and Stages of Congregational Development).
If a congregation does not redevelop during Retirement it will move on to the Old Age stage. Old Age is when Vision, Relationships, and Programs are no longer dominant or fully developed. Management is the only factor that is still dominant or fully developed. As such the habit or pattern, generally at a mediocre level, drives the direction of the congregation. The Old Age stage is discussed further in my article, The Old Age of a Congregation. Does this description fit your congregation? If you think the answer is "yes," click the Next button underneath It fits. If you're not sure, or you think the answer is probably "no," click the Next button underneath Look further or select another life cycle stage.
