A twenty-first century model for church revitalization in a rural setting

Abstracto

This project addressed the issue of congregational decline within African-American Baptist churches in rural settings. Smithfield Baptist Church located in Gloucester, Virginia served as the context for this project. The researcher hypothesized that the freedom of worship and the availability of relevant ministry opportunities would provoke an attitudinal change in the current parishioner, as well as increase church participation and growth. A mixed methodological approach was used to measure the project's effectiveness including focus groups, pre and post survey questionnaires, workshop questionnaires, and workshop evaluations. This project demonstrated practices that churches in similar environments could employ to ensure future viability.
