Church Revitalization Initiative (CRI)

About the CRI

The Church Revitalization Initiative is designed to come beside committed pastors and church leaders who are willing to do what it takes to revitalize their church. We know that we are living in difficult times; that is why we want to be of assistance to you. The regional staff and the CRI Coordinator have put together a process that we think will help you and we have also put together a team of qualified people to assist you in your area(s) of need. We don’t have all the answers, but we do have people who are willing to assist you.

The Church Revitalization Initiative (CRI) is designed to support pastors and lay leaders to use prayer, the gifts of the Spirit, written resources, and personal coaching to strengthen and revitalize churches seeking guided direction. There is no cost whatsoever to churches who choose to take part in CRI.

CRI Report
May 2025
This month we have been working on the CRI Pastor’s Retreat to be held at the Region Office on June 21, 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.  I encourage all CRI pastors to attend and any pastor who is interested in learning what CRI is about to attend as well.   

Several current pastors will be sharing happenings in their churches, lunch will be served, and we will have communion together as well. 

Please continue to pray for our CRI pastors and their church leaders as they move their churches through Revitalization.
