Strength Training for a Fit Church

Equip Yourself for Adaptive Ministry

Developed by the Texas Methodist Foundation, Strength Training for a Fit Church helps church leaders, and their congregations identify and strengthen five crucial skills that will enable them to thrive now and in the future. If churches continually exercise these strengths, they will be adaptable, responsive, and ready to follow God now and into the future.

The five strengths are:
Grieving Well
Discerning Purpose
Walking Alongside
Distributing Power
Expanding Imagination.

The authors, Lisa Greenwood and Blair Thompson, have developed and shared the Five Muscles model through presentations, podcasts, and articles and taught it through church cohorts.

Strength Training for a Fit Church is for leaders, while Strength Training for Faith is for each person in the congregation.
