description: A small community with a shrinking population, LaMoure, North Dakaota, was definitely not the desired backdrop for church growth. With church stats reporting that "three died, six moved, and two dropped out," LaMoure was not expected to survive, much less thrive. But then a new pastor moved to town. A pastor who didn't recognize the lackluster expectations for the church. Pastor Paul Hazelton dared to ask himself and his congregation, "Can small-town churches be revitalized? Can THIS small-town church become a thriving, growing church ministering to the community of Christ?" Together they found the answers to be a resounding "yes!" Drawing from the inspirational success story of the LaMoure church, Hazelton offers seven approaches and seven practical action steps for revitalizing declining churches everywhere.
