RENEW ARKANSAS
Launching January 2026
A Collaborative Network of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention
Renew Arkansas exists to foster church renewal through meaningful partnerships. Rooted in the belief that every church can experience new life and ongoing vitality, this collaborative network supports leaders and congregations across the state in their pursuit of Gospel-centered renewal.
OUR MISSION
Fostering church renewal through partnerships.
OUR VISION
Every church renewed and always renewing for the glory of God and the good of its community through the power of the Gospel.
OUR VALUES
-
The local church as the reflection of God’s glory in the community in which it is planted.
-
The Gospel of Jesus Christ as God’s power for renewal in the church and the salvation of all who believe.
-
The continual renewal of the local church as the catalyst for advancing God’s Kingdom through mission engagement in communities across our state and throughout the world.
- The vital role of partnerships as God’s method for fostering renewal among our churches.
Pathways for Renewal
Every church is different. The same method that works for one may not work for another.
That’s why we have created three different pathways based on the needs of your church.
Revitalize
an existing congregation experiencing new life and effectiveness through an intentional change of strategy and/or leadership which does not require a change of identity
Replant
an existing congregation experiencing new life through a renewal of identity, leadership and strategy in partnership with another church
Re-imagine
an intentional investment by a church and whatever partners may be included in their decision-making processes to leave a legacy of facilities and resources for continued Kingdom purposes
We want to help you find the right path.

We have a network that is ready to serve your church, regardless of where you reside.
