What is church replanting?

A Legacy of Faith of Faith and a New Vision

Church replanting is the process of breathing new life into a struggling or dying church by restarting it with fresh leadership, vision, and direction. Rather than closing the doors, a replant seeks to honor the church’s legacy while making significant changes to restore health and gospel impact. This often involves reassessing the church’s mission, renewing its commitment to biblical teaching and community engagement, and building a new core team committed to revitalization.

Unlike a typical church plant, a replant usually inherits an existing congregation, building, and history. This brings both unique challenges and opportunities—such as navigating change with grace and fostering unity across generations. The ultimate goal of church replanting is to see a once-declining church transformed into a thriving, missionally effective body that serves its community and glorifies Christ.
