“Revitalization should take place when a church plateaus. A ‘turnaround’ is needed when it’s in decline. A ‘restart’ os needed when a church between decline and death. A church must be replanted once it reaches death stage.” - Dr. Gordon Penfold #NAFWB

I think this distinction is missed by most. We think dying churches need revitalization when that time has already passed. We are coming to the doctor for a checkup when we are on life support.
