Empowering Churches to Flourish
At The Flourishing Congregational Life Project, we are dedicated to revitalizing churches by equipping pastors and congregations to thrive in their unique contexts. Anchored at the Pentecostal Theological Seminary, our mission is to create a nurturing environment where churches can seek God’s will and discover tailored strategies for growth and fruitfulness. Through a comprehensive approach that includes Cohorts, Conferences, Consultation, and Covenant relationships, we walk alongside churches to help them achieve their full potential.
Our program is designed to meet the specific needs of each congregation, fostering collaboration and transformation. With expert guidance from PTS faculty, ministry leaders, and professional consultants, we offer tools and support that empower churches to navigate challenges, embrace their unique identities, and flourish as communities of faith. Join us on this journey of renewal, connection, and discovery.
Discover What's Ahead
At PTS Flourish, we believe that transformation happens when we come together. Our upcoming events are designed to inspire, equip, and connect pastors and congregations on their journey toward revitalization. From dynamic kickoff conferences to collaborative cohort gatherings, each event offers a space to engage with expert speakers, share insights, and build meaningful relationships with others who share your mission to flourish in ministry.
These events are more than just gatherings; they are opportunities to align your church's vision with God’s purpose. Whether you're seeking practical tools, spiritual renewal, or camaraderie with like-minded leaders, our events are here to guide you every step of the way. Stay tuned for updates and be ready to take the next step in your church’s journey toward growth and fruitfulness.
What Flourishing Churches Do
"My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples" - John 15:8
Covenanting
A flourishing congregation values covenant in fostering community of faith. Caring for the needy and marginalized.
Discerning
A flourishing congregation practices a discerning reflection. “Double Listening.” Listening to the Spirit, listening to the heartbeat of culture.
Yielding
A flourishing congregation yields to the leading of the Spirit. Bearing authentic Christian witness in the here and now as we anticipate the coming Kingdom.

Rooted in God’s purpose, we equip churches to align their vision with His will for lasting spiritual and communal impact.
