Don't let transition times hold your congregation back.

Vibrant Congregations will come alongside your congregation empowering you to listen to God in this critical in-between time.

An excellent way to do this is by participating in Vibrant Liminal, an online survey that helps you determine if your congregation is currently experiencing a liminal phase.

Life Cycle Assessment

This assessment helps a congregation discover where they are currently in their lifecycle. (This then leads into the Discernment Process Pathway.)

Church Now Conversations

One of the things that we love to do is develop leaders. Church Now Conversations does just that. We virtually bring in a leader and we ask them to tell us what they think the church needs to know right now.

Church Now Cafe

Church Now Cafe is an interactive gathering (not a conference!) that is built to stimulate life-giving conversations among church leaders on what is happening with our identities (amidst all the many disruptions) and what opportunities are currently arising with the local church.

Devotionals

We provide leadership devotionals that are sent weekly via email. They are a collaborative effort with Churches Learning Change, CRC's Women's Leadership Ministry, CRC Diversity, and the RCA's Women's Transformation and Leadership.

MissionInsite

MissionInsite is a community demographic analysis for the local church. It uncovers insights about the community around you. MissionInsite helps move from data to decisions.

Creating Greater Collaboration
for Church Renewal

Although Vibrant Congregations is not a renewal organization, we are really good at helping congregations find their best partner for renewal.

A lot of work went into developing the Vibrancy Pathway, a conversational and interactive approach involving church leadership in discovering their best partner.

To assure that leadership listens well, we provide  tools to listen to the voice of God, the voice of the congregation, and the voice of leadership.

This listening leads to a Friday/Saturday guided event where all information is gathered and reflected on.

This information leads to an Insights report and suggestions for a renewal partner.
