mark_jobeBringing New Life to Existing Churches: A Revitalization Roundtable with Dr. Mark Jobe

Friday, September 12, 10:00-11:00 AM in SH230

The church of the future will exist in urban contexts. But many churches in those contexts are now aging and dying. We need a vision and a plan for how to revitalize the church in the city.

On Friday, September 12, the Revitalization Center will host a one hour open discussion with Dr. Mark Jobe, Pastor of New Life Community Church in Chicago. New Life is an ethnically diverse, non- denominational church that meets at 40 locations around the city. In addition to actively planting new churches, they have successfully pioneered a ministry called “Restart” that has helped nine struggling urban churches renew their mission and vision. In a word, they have found a way to enable dying churches to build upon their history and strengths to begin vital ministry and growth once again. Come and interact with Mark about starting new churches as well as revitalizing old one in a modern urban context.

Sponsored by the Center for the Study of World Christian Revitalization Movements.
