Choices Within the Journey

What is the essence of this choice?

Choose to relocate the meeting place of a congregation for more effective growth and ministry:

  • To a location that is closer to where a majority of your membership lives.

  • Where congregational vitality is not negatively impacted by the context.

  • Where a greater chance exists to reach new people into the congregation.

A location that becomes a liability is one that is too small to accommodate the size and diversity of programs, ministries, or activities of the congregation.

Without room to expand in the available space, and after various schedule alternatives have been tried or considered, relocation may be the best choice.

Why not transition to being a congregation who worships at multiple sites?

  • This is certainly a viable choice in many situations, and ought to be considered before relocation is attempted.

  • However, the size of the primary congregation’s location may be too small or undesirable, and so relocation is a good choice.
