Healthy Church Initiative

The Healthy Church Initiative (HCI) was formed to help revitalize churches and aid them in fulfilling The Great Commission. Through a combination of continuous learning, coaching and consultation, this process helps congregations more effectively join God in God’s mission. After having successfully implemented this process in the Missouri Annual Conference for several years, we are bringing this process of transformation to the Central Texas Conference.

Two distinct initiatives within HCI have been designed to address the unique needs of varying sized churches:

LARGER CHURCH INITIATIVE - The Larger Church Initiative focuses on mid- and large-membership churches to help pastors and lay leaders work together in transforming their congregation. Learn more.
SMALL CHURCH INITIATIVE - The Small Church Initiative addresses the unique obstacles faced by small membership churches. Learn more.

2012 LAUNCH

The Center for Evangelism and Church Growth will launch Pastoral Leadership Development, Lay Leadership Development and Small Church Initiative classes in the West and Central Districts in January 2012. The next group of classes will begin in September 2012. Contact your District Superintendent if you are interested in joining the September classes.

TESTIMONIALS

The Missouri Annual Conference launched this process seven years ago and is now sharing it with other Conferences. More than 200 churches have participated in the initiative. Read what a few of them have to say.
