During this eight-month process, you’ll join 8-10 churches in your region to work through a proven model of revitalization. You’ll walk away with a three-year plan to lead your church toward health.

restart church
Churches that need a fresh start can apply for our restart program.
This program is for churches that need a full reset of ministry. This process may include finding a restart pastor, partnering with a supporting church, receiving SBTC coaching, and/or applying for ministry funds. No matter what your church needs, we are here to help you navigate the process.
restart pastor
Is God calling you to pastor a church needing revitalization or a restart?
The Restart Pastor pathway is for anyone experiencing a call to shepherd a struggling church needing a restart. In this pathway, pastors can assess their gifts, gain access to funding, partner with a coach pastor, and find churches that fit their calling. Let us help prepare you for the work of revitalization and get you onto the mission field.
support church
Is God calling your church to support a restart church?
We want to partner healthy churches with struggling or dying churches in missional relationships to build more healthy churches. Restart Support Churches will invest in their sister churches by providing resources, coaching, and guidance in revitalization. Is your church ready to help?
