It is not difficult for the observant Christian to recognize a churchin decline. In every small town, suburb, or city, there is often a church on the brink of shutting their doors, or at the very least recognizing the stagnancy of a churchs growth. Matt Capps and Steven Wade know this not only from observation, but from experience in their own revitalized churches. In Shepherding Renewal, these pastors address the hardship of serving a church in decline, and even more so address the need to breathe new life into the dying church.
