Research shows that most churches today are declining or plateaued. While some might be willing to give up and prepare for the “end times,” perhaps we instead should rethink how churches function and minister. One of Churchnet’s five ministry teams focuses on exactly this issue.

Churchnet’s Congregational Health Team strives to help declining and plateaued churches find new life and help growing churches to make sure they are still moving forward in productive and sustainable ways. Dr. Bob Perry serves as the Congregational Health Team Leader. He brings decades of experience in coaching churches to consider their weaknesses and strengths, challenges and opportunities, distractions and blessings.

"My life purpose is to serve God and His Kingdom by helping churches and church leaders achieve a high level of health and effectiveness in fulfilling the mission to which they have been called,” Perry says.

For Perry, this mission is more than a job or even a hobby, it is his calling! With experience helping hundreds of churches, he is ready and excited to help your congregation discern what is holding your ministry back and discover how to move effectively into the future. You can contact Bob at (888) 420-2426 ext. 706 or at [email protected]
