Church Health and Growth

Given the fact that 80 to 85 percent of all churches are either plateaued or declining in attendance, Mission USA makes it a priority to partner with existing churches that have a vision for healthy growth and ministry renewal. Though the message of the church never changes, the form and style of celebrating and sharing that message must change to maintain relevance and effectiveness in our culture. In particular, Mission USA will assist in the development of a church’s purpose, mission, and core values which provide the foundation for a discerned vision and strategy for future growth. This usually requires four to six on-site visits with the church’s leadership/pastoral teams. Contact Mission USA for more details.

Target Churches

Target Church Partnerships are an enhanced program of the Church Renewal aspect of Mission USA. Target churches will partner with Mission USA for a one to two year time frame for a specific growth strategy. More intensive evaluation and vision casting will be a part of the Target Church Partnership. Often, a Target Church will receive minor financial assistance for a specific project or staffing strategy. Only one and at the most two Target Churches are selected each year by Mission USA. Target Churches are selected through an application process by the prospective church. Contact Mission USA for more details.

Developing Leaders

Everything rises and falls on leadership. Without the God-given vision of leaders, ministries in general and people in particular head off into various directions and at best dilute or at worst lose their effectiveness. It's equally important to know that God creates and gifts some to be leaders in specific areas of ministry. With good training and coaching, those leaders can point and galvanize God's people to keep ministry effective and on course.

MISSION USA is committed to identifying and helping in the training process of new leaders. We've developed opportunities for upcoming leaders to intern with churches in various areas, ranging from worship and music to children's ministries.
