Listen "SCBA Leadership Podcast Episode #141--STORIES OF HOPE: TURN AROUND CHURCHES with Pastor Phillip Cole of Calvary Baptist Church in Smithville, Texas"
Episode Synopsis
What options are there for churches who have less than 25 in attendance?
How can senior adults be the conduit through which vibrant ministry can be done?
In this series we visit with pastors whom the Lord has used to help churches turn things around. We will discuss lessons learned, mistakes made, and hear stories of hope.
In this episode we visit with Phillip Cole, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Smithville, Texas. This story is somewhat unique in that Calvary is more of a church plant than it is a revitalization or replant. Coming out of Calvary Baptist in Bastrop, Phillip and other leaders began forming a relationship with Trinity Baptist Church. Trinity was down to 20-25 members when they reached out to Calvary for help. The outcome was incredible! But it wasn't easy.
