In the face of declining attendance and financial instability, many US churches struggle. This project explores shared ministry—where congregations partner under one leader—as a potential solution. Theologically, it is grounded in Paul's Philippians dubitatio (1:18-26), where he grapples with the choice between life and death, along with concepts like the priesthood of all believers and the cruciform nature of ministry. It frames shared ministry as "choosing life" for struggling congregations. Research reveals benefits and challenges, including collaboration, resource-sharing, increased workload, and resistance to change. Ultimately, the study suggests shared ministry, with clear vision and trust, can offer renewal and growth.
