Redevelopment Process Redevelopment of a congregation is the redirection of its ministry in light of significant changes among its membership, in the community to be served, or both.
Redevelopment includes a planned effort and intent to re-focus the congregation's ministry.
A redevelopment is not a natural cycle or stage of congregational life. It is a planned intervention in a congregation to stimulate the dynamics needed to enable the congregation to reorient its ministry. At the conclusion of a redevelopment, data will be available to determine whether or not redevelopment is feasible for the particular congregation.
