Welcome to NEW CONGREGATIONS This is a Web site aimed at congregation leaders who want to lead manageable and sustainable churches. If you've come to this site for that reason, you're home right now.
You're home if you want to stop trying too hard. You're home if you're running out of passion. You're home if you've tried just about everything and it hasn't really worked all that well. You're home if you see things differently than the rest of the crowd. You're home if you'd like your congregational ministry to be enjoyable and fulfilling.	New Congregations offers you the insights of neuroscience applied to the dynamics of your congregation's life. Another way to name the idea: Neuroecclesiology. In conversation with an experienced church consultant in the mainline Protestant tradition, you derive the perspective you need to see your church in a new way, and the courage to do something about what you discover. Contact BOB SITZE at bob.sitze@att.net for an interesting conversation.
