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

Kyle Koch - Board Vice Chair and Pastor at Mission72

Randy Carr - Pastor at Crossroads Fellowship

Dan Martin - Pastor at North Clinton Church

Don Patterson - Pastor at Kalona Mennonite Church
