revitalisation programs

I am doing some pre-thinking for my next masters essays and would like to enlist your help.

Do you know of any revitalisation or remissionalisation programs for churches?

I know of Natural Church Development by Christian Schwarz and Alan Roxburgh’s process that my own denomination is doing.

Do you know of any more?

    remissionalisation: Talk to the Forge mob about Southside (AoG), which I think is Adelaide’s 2nd biggest church.

    You should investigate Paul Borden’s process. He’s has been paid a lot by the Baptist Union’s of WA and NZ. In a nutshell, it is the polar opposite to Roxburgh’s process (which is what I am into). Borden really applies church growth theory to churches and denominations. I have his handbook which I can bring when we have coffee. Andrew
