Church Health & Revitalization
Thriving congregations strengthen the mission of the church. Through strategic coaching, targeted resources and missional vision, the Horizon Texas Conference supports congregations in pursuing lasting spiritual vitality.
Revitalization Strategies
Revitalization sometimes begins with bold new beginnings. Horizon Texas Conference supports church rebirth strategies as well as adoption and vital mergers. We also support a number of different models of new church starts. Some of them involve:
- Healthy congregations giving birth to new expressions of faith.
- Additional worshipping communities within the current church facility
- Future independent churches (mother/daughter model)
- Second sites (multi-site model)
Others involve the creation of new ministries in growing as well as underserved areas of the mission field.
- New Expressions
- Independent church starts
- Mission Congregations
Revitalization is also supported in existing congregations through:
- Leadership training and metrics-based accountability
- Resources for storytelling, discipleship, and innovation

Lay and clergy leaders are not alone. Across the conference, churches have access to:
- One-on-one coaching and consultation
- Lay leadership training
- Downloadable handbooks and role-based guidance
- Access to Mission Insite demographic tools
