Transforming Spaces,
Letting Jesus Be Present
Across the country, historic church buildings sit quiet. But we believe Jesus is writing second acts. 2nd Acts Church Planting & Revitalization exists to refresh these sacred spaces and replant communities of worship, presence, and hope.
Experienced. Relational. Intentional.
We are trusted with transformation
We understand what it takes to move legacy churches into a second act.
For the past eight pastor searches, seven churches had a
100%
congregational vote in support of calling the new pastor. The eighth was a 97% vote.
In our first transformation of a mainline church, there was
3x
growth in attendance within the first eight months.
In the past 10 years, our team has provided assistance to over
50+
churches in starting fresh with a new chapter.
What We Do
Revitalize Legacy Churches – Helping churches who are ready to pivot and welcome what’s next.
Support Church Planters & Pastors – Identifying and walking with gifted leaders.
Partner with Givers – Individuals and churches investing in the presence of Jesus in towns and cities across the U.S.
Why It Matters
This isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about neighborhoods. When Jesus is re-centered in a church at the heart of town, something shifts. We've seen it. And we're building a network of churches, planters, and partners who want to see it happen again.
Who We Are
Our staff and board members are from around the U.S. with extensive ministry and church leadership experience in a variety of settings.
John Troyer – Director and Pastor at Redeeming Grace Church
Carl Horner – Assistant Director and Board Chair
Sheila Troyer – Director of Operations, Board Secretary/Treasurer and Pastor at Redeeming Grace Church
