Churches are closing today at an alarming rate. Pastors are disillusioned, church members are discouraged, and the world has lost interest. Can this disturbing tide be stemmed?   Bill Henard believes that there is hope for the established church – for your church. Some people may have already pronounced the church “dead,” but these dead bones can live.  Whether your church is seven years old or one-hundred and seventy, you may be seeing evidences that your church needs vision, direction, and revitalization.  Don’t lose hope. Your church can live.   Bill Henard (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; DMin, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) currently serves as senior pastor of Porter Memorial Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky, in addition to his ministry as a professor of evangelism at Southern Seminary, where he teaches courses on church revitalization.
