If you’re worried about the future of your church,
you’re not alone. We’ve been there.
The Good Friday Collaborative supports churches concluding ministry through merging, closing, relocating, or restarting.
Do you believe in death
and resurrection?
Our story is Jesus’ story.
Choose your future.
Imagine two churches that decide to close their doors. They both face rising costs, decreased revenue, and volunteer burn-out.
One congregation thinks they failed.
They blame others for forcing them to close. They do not connect their story with the gospel story. They suffer complicated grief.
The other church trusts the faith of Jesus.
They partner with the Good Friday Collaborative. Their spiritually-grounded leaders keep asking, “What is our most faithful call?”
They deliberately act on their values. They discover spiritual and emotional power even through their grief.
They experience a “good death.” They become ready for God’s next chapter for them.
