The Health of Your Church

What is the health of your church? Are you looking to revitalize your church and strengthen your spiritual beliefs? Maybe you should conduct a Congregational Mission Assessment Process. Let's talk about how this works. The three key objectives that should be identified during your church assessments are foundational, functional and formal. One of the first things you should do is to establish a church assessment team, which will oversee the collection and collation of the myriad of survey questions that will be distributed to key members throughout your church. Secondly, you should prepare your church congregation through prayer before undertaking this process.

Every church should engage in a church health/spiritual assessment annually. Why is that you ask? On your job, there are annual performance reviews to assess the progress you have made as an employee. Well, the same holds true in your spiritual life. There is a need to evaluate the spiritual progress you have made individually and the spiritual progress made in your church.

If you haven't conducted a spiritual health assessment lately, maybe this is the very thing you need to revitalize the vision of the church.
