Church revitalzation: A case study of Bayview Church of Guam

The purpose of this case study is to discover the answer to this question: Is there a workable strategy for revitalization for Bayview Church of Guam? For nearly a decade Bayview has experienced a plateau or decline. This case study examined factors such as the history of the church and the island culture of Guam that affect growth. A study of Scripture was also undertaken to identify biblical principles regarding revitalization that could be applied to a turn-around strategy. Literature covering three main schools of thought for church revitalization---the Church Growth Movement, church health, and missional church---was also incorporated into the study.;At the end of the study a yes or no answer for turn-around should be ascertained. The answer is yes. A plan for reinvigorating vitality was presented including necessary steps and goals for a period of five years. Each year of this plan prioritized what is important for each consecutive year so that in the following years of the plan growth can be built upon better support for greater growth.
