Welcome to FlipMyChurch.com
Too many congregations in the United States and Canada have lost our relevance and effectiveness: our vibrancy, our viability . . . our ability to be all God created us to be.
Surely we’re telling you nothing new. A lot of us have been spending a lot of time, talent, and treasure pursuing the next best things—the next best book, program, expert, or other resource—that promises to help reverse what are now decades of decline and distress.
And many of us have succumbed to the bait of flipping our congregations in much the same way investors pursue flipping a house, hoping our attempts
to improve our curb appeal,
to clear our clutter and get the “staging” of our programs and people just right,
to increase our marketability, and
to more effectively “seal the deals” of membership
will lead to quick and profitable turnarounds.
But our testimonies of vitality and viability are still far too few.
In reality, flipping a church calls for more than a little revitalizing . . . particularly if we want our congregations to be vital, viable, and sustainable for many years to come.
Indeed, FlipMyChurch.com has found that transformational congregations concentrate on the four purposes of the Church:
Worship;
One-anothering;
Reaching others; and
Discipleship.
In addition, transformational congregations have figured out how to streamline their Structures and policies to maximize their abilities to worship, one-another, reach others, and disciple.
To this end, FlipMyChurch.com is committed to providing congregations tried-and-true, practical, tools-you-can-use to move past talking about transformation to engaging the W*O*R*D*S of transformation. Each introductory training video, monthly vid-cast, weekly blog post, weekday Motivotional™, coaching, consulting, and additional resources is designed with both pastors and people-in-the-pews in mind . . . by people who themselves have been people-in-the-pews and pastors in transforming and transformational congregations!

Our Partners
FlipMyChurch.com works in partnership with 21st Century Strategies (whose focus is equipping Christians for global impact), Net Results (North America’s most enduring church growth and evangelism magazine), and Church-Talk (a weekly radio broadcast “for all things church transformation”). Each is sold-out to equipping, empowering, and encouraging the transformation of congregations and their leadership.
Denominational ministers are invited to follow the NE Area link to the web presence of the Northeast Area of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of Mid-America. Since January 2007, this middle-judicatory has been intentional about flipping congregations, targeting all its ministries to effectively reach and serve its 90-plus congregations so they can effectively reach and serve their respective communities and beyond.
