Description
Reimagining Church: A Toolkit is a practical resource designed to help congregational leaders reconsider what it means for a faith community to thrive in a changing religious and social environment. Developed by the USC Center for Religion and Civic Culture (CRCC), the toolkit draws from research on religious creativity and innovation as well as learning from its Reimagining Church cohort. It combines videos, readings, reflections, and insights from faith leaders to help congregations explore new approaches to ministry, leadership, community, and congregational identity. Rather than offering a single model for church growth, the toolkit encourages leaders to examine their own context and imagine sustainable ways of strengthening congregational life.Features
