CONGREGATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Church Growth with Integrity

Does your church need . . . ? A clear vision for the future? A definite plan for ministry?

  • A deeper understanding of the kind of leadership needed for the 21st century?
  • An understanding of the "Life Style" groups in your community and the demographic possibilities of your church?
  • Help to bring all members into mission and ministry?

Specific Help for your Local Church Planning

  • Ministry Audit including 250 questions to analyze your total situation and help you plan for the future.
  • Percept Ministry Area Profile to help you focus on demographic information pertinent to your congregation and community (must be ordered separately)
  • Congregations survey covering a comprehensive overview of your church as seen by your members
  • Worship survey detailing present patterns of attendance
  • A readiness survey/chart of your church staff, detailing their openness to change
  • A readiness survey/chart of your Administrative Board/Council, detailing their openness to change
  • A two or three-day on-site consultation by the resource person of your choice, designed to gather and correlate information needed for your strategic plan
  • Your Resource Person will meet with small groups of your choosing to glean ideas and visions shared by members of the congregation
  • Three to five hours of teaching seminar related to the information discovered in your Ministry Audit and demographic study
  • A final report, revised by congregational and pastoral input, detailing recommendations based on the gathered information

Contact a resource person:

Resource leaders are available to local churches wanting to revitalize their ministry. They have been trained in the use of the Ministry Audit designed by Rev. Bill Easum. In addition, they have been trained in the interpretation and application of the Percept demographic study material focusing on the Ministry Area Profile and outreach to Life Style groups in your area. These resource persons are committed to the renewal of the local church in models of ministry that will equip pastors and laity for the 21st century.
