Meeting human needs in Jesus' name
Spark renewal across your entire congregation with the Church Renewal Journey (CRJ). This weekend event offers three distinct pathways for children, youth, and adults to come together, see how God is at work, and rediscover the joy in their daily lives.
Cost & Travel: The weekend coordinator and their team travel to your church entirely at their own expense.
Lodging & Meals: The host church provides meals and arranges for team members to stay in the homes of congregation members.
Team Size: Team size scales with your church’s attendance. For example, a church with a Sunday School attendance of 80 will host a team of about 15 people. Because many team members are married couples, this typically requires only 7 or 8 host homes.
Friday: The weekend kicks off with evening small group sessions.
Saturday: A full day dedicated to the renewal process, featuring a mix of small group and general sessions.
Sunday Morning: Team members lead Sunday School classes and participate in the morning worship services, departing right after lunch.
This Weekend is an opportunity to re-awaken the church to its purpose and passion. It takes believers, wherever they are in their spiritual journey, and refreshes them with a godly perspective of their role in service to others. This is an inward journey that renews and restores the love of Christ to those who have drifted away from their commitment.
This Weekend equips the church by sharing how God has shaped each believer for ministry. Using the acrostic, SHAPE, this weekend teaches about Spiritual gifts, what God is continually saying to our Heart, and how our Abilities, Personality, and Experiences have uniquely prepared us for specific ministries. It is here that many lay people understand for the first time that they are just as called to ministry as their pastor.
This weekend is an application of the Awakening and Equipping steps and a continuation of the Journey. It is about becoming aware of the work God is doing in the world. This weekend shows how we can be on mission whether we are at work, school, retired or a stay-at-home mom. Those who commit to God’s calling are commissioned by their pastor and church body and sent back into their marketplace, school or wherever God has placed them.
This weekend is a time where the church is encouraged to take the bold steps of being on mission to their neighbors and to the nations. The church will be encouraged to develop a strategy to penetrate lostness in their Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth.
This is a time for the church to come apart from the world and spend time together in God’s presence. Participants will be encouraged and trained in Biblical prayer that focuses on Kingdom priorities.
