A conversation with the Committee on Congregational Viability Norms
Bishop Rimbo noted in his 2010 Report of the Bishop to the Synod Assembly that he anticipates as many as 50 of our congregations closing in the years ahead. So, how would you like your synod to go about deciding when it’s time to close a congregation? Is it always a bad thing for a congregation to close? Can anything good come of it? How can you evaluate your own congregation’s position as we face these challenging times? We will be discussing such questions at the Synod Assembly in May 2012. In preparation, please attend a Conversation About Congregational Viability.
