The City to City Australia Revitalise program strengthens churches across a 15-month journey with specialised consultants.

Across 3 months, we gather information from the church, analyse, clarify, consult with key stakeholders and leaders, and produce a tailor-made research-backed roadmap based on our findings. The ReFrame and ReVision workshops will guide the church to build a vision for the future.

For the following 12 months, there will be ongoing contextual training once a month, tailored to the church’s needs. The church will also be supported to go through the specific implementations recommended in your roadmap.

A specialised consultant will coach and support the leader of the church as they receive and implement the roadmap.

FULL SCOPE

This option suits a church that is somewhat stuck and wants to get unstuck, and wants a review with a clear path forward, or a church that is asking the question of "what next"? A church that buys into this model really wants to dive deep into a Revitalise project that is thorough, involves bringing the whole church along and has a high input level.

Medium scope

This option suits a church that is somewhat stuck and wants to get unstuck, wants a medium level of review as the church has a good sense of the issues, but wants help to build a clear path forward.

They are looking for some help clarifying the way forward and bringing people along.

light scope

This option suits a church that wants a low level of review and wants to focus more on the clarity forward. This church has a clear understanding of the issues and what needs to happen to move forward, but likely needs help getting momentum and bringing others along. Often this church will be led by a leader who has a good sense of direction but needs someone to walk alongside them to support.

online only

This option suits a church that is somewhat stuck and wants to get unstuck, a church that wants a low level of review and wants to focus more on the clarity forward. Similar to the light scope, this project happens completely online.

Testimonials

"When it came to preparing a vision and plan for our church, the last thing I wanted to do was spend months arguing about the definitions of vision and mission, in order to create a document that had no practical use. As a church we had also recently made some hard changes and were looking for a positive way forward rather than a critical review. So when I came across City to City Australia’ s ReVision Workshop and saw the templated method, limited timeframe and positive practical outcomes, it was really appealing. The sessions were well led and it was good for me to be a participant rather than leading the process. We came up with an inspiring 10 year vision which continues to shape our prayers and common language in our church. Next were our 3 year targets, and as we come now to the end of the three year period, I can see how useful they were and how far we have come. The one-year themes have given us focus, and it has been great to be able to tick off 90-day goals (though we missed some quarters). It' s good to have a vision that lives on our wall rather than on a shelf and we look forward now to developing our next three-year goals.
