Communication is also key to sharing the good news of revitalization. The church of the 21st Century will also have to be high tech. Ultimately a local church is about the renewal of persons. Transformation can begin when a person is renewed by some spiritual experience. It changed his life and has since changed his church.
Renewal means personal growth.
Persons discover their spiritual gifts and use those gifts in ministry. There also needs to be corporate renewal. Transformation may begin with one area of a church life. But it ultimately needs to impact the church's vision, use of resources, organization, facilities, mission, and the renewal of its people for it to last.
