His words echoed a statement by Bishop Leo Frade at the forum on “The Future of Black Congregations” a day ear- lier: “There is no plan to close churches!” At a time when changing demograph- ics and economic decline are threatening the survival of many smaller congrega- tions of all denominations, the Diocese of Southeast Florida is committed to helping its struggling churches find creative ways to thrive and grow. The Nehemiah Process, now in its sev- enth year, has involved more than 50 con- gregations in a transformational process of discernment, training and implementation of a ministry plan for congregational growth. As a direct result of this process, in the past six months three congregations that had been on mission status (receiving aid and/or assessment reduction from the diocese) have become self-supporting.
