WHERE are You Doing Ministry

Churches are growing organisms.  Although the nature of their growth may change it should never stop.  One of the key signs of life is growth.  However, most churches are not able to measure their growth progress.  And the vast majority of churches cannot measure their growth progress in terms of the "pieces" of their ministry philosophy.  Our ministry consultation process includes the most extensive growth measuring system available to churches today.  Measuring goes way beyond "nickels and noses."  You need to know so much more.

This topic is one of the most crucial aspects of the strategic planning process.  It is here that you analyze the characteristics, values, attitudes, and lifestyles of your constituency and community. 

Using Survey Express, The Healthy Church Survey and Report gives you an initial look at the health of your church. The survey comprises 35 questions that can be used in a Sunday morning service, giving the church leadership a response from a broad segment of the church.

Each ministry area is crystallized into a personal statement we want to hear more often in church. Simply put, this is the essence of what you want to hear more often in connection with your church ministry. "We see" ..... "We fit" ..... "We connect" ..... "We respond" ..... "We grow" ..... "We care" ..... "We plan" ..... "We serve".

Once again, with Survey Express a wider range of questions is used through a in-depth leadership questionnaire that creates a "management" benchmark that allows you to measure each ministry area from many perspectives.

Subsequent measurements give quantifiable checkups that may indicate progress or the need for more work.  Extensive cross referencing allows you to diagnose how various groups within the congregation are responding.  We link the responses to the precise spot in the church's philosophy where the impact is greatest.  The result is an analysis of the church's vital health and a diagnosis of its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in terms of the church's specific philosophy of ministry.
