Assessing the Health of Local Churches
In his book Natural Church Development, Christian Schwarz identifies eight essential areas of healthy church ministry. The Natural Church Development Survey assesses the health of your church in the following areas.
o Empowering leadership
o Passionate spirituality
o Gift -oriented ministry
o Inspiring worship
o Need-oriented evangelism
o Holistic small groups
o Functional structures
o Loving relationships

The survey reveals your church's minimum factor - the lowest quality rating in one of the eight areas. By working to improve your minimum factor, your church can take steps to improve its overall heath and growth potential.

Results from the Survey assists your church to determine the best revitalisation Track to help you improve effectiveness in Year 2.
