Pastor David Doran Jr. of Resurrection Church in Lincoln Park joins Theologically Driven to talk about leading a church through a merger. Drawing on his own experience merging two congregations in 2019, David walks through why mergers are increasingly strategic for the church, the good reasons to merge (and the good reasons not to), how to tell whether two churches are truly compatible beyond their statements of faith, and the leadership traits — humility, honesty, and hard work — the process demands. He also unpacks the dangers that derail mergers (fragmentation, reminiscing, and dithering) and offers a memorable framework for the journey: dating, engagement, and marriage. A practical, honest conversation for pastors, church planters, and seminary students.
