An analysis of methods to revitalize a religious community experiencing low attendance, limited resources, and challenges in maintaining active engagement is presented. Such a community often faces difficulties in attracting new members, retaining existing ones, and effectively managing its financial obligations. For example, a church with fewer than 75 active members, declining weekly donations, and limited community outreach programs may be considered a “small struggling church.”
Addressing the challenges facing such institutions is crucial for preserving religious heritage, providing spiritual guidance to local populations, and fostering community cohesion. Historically, churches have played a vital role in social support networks, charitable activities, and moral leadership. A renewed focus on growth can restore these functions, benefiting both the congregation and the wider community. Furthermore, a thriving church can serve as a stable and reliable resource for individuals seeking connection and purpose.
