Mergers

Church mergers bring together resources, leadership, and congregations to create stronger, more sustainable communities of faith.  Church mergers have become one of the most effective strategies for struggling churches to thrive again, for growing churches to amplify their reach, and for church facilities to be better utilized to advance the Gospel in a region.

 

What is a church merger?

When two or more churches become one through the combining, integrating, and unifying of people, structures, systems, and resources in order to better reach their community with the message of Jesus.

 

Common Merger Types

Adoption

Typically when a stable or stuck church is integrated under the leadership of a stronger, vibrant, usually larger church.

Rebirth

Typically when a struggling church gets a second life by being restarted under a stronger, vibrant, usually larger church.
