Understanding Church Health

The past generation has seen the development of the new science of church growth. Some specialists in the field have studied the Scriptures to gain insight into how the New Testament church made things happen. Others have looked at unique trends of various denominations. Many have studied churches around the world to discover how they have done ministry. Still others have examined specific programs and their impact on the church.

Essentially, fifty years of study has produced two things. First, books have been written and concepts communicated in courses and seminars. These have identified principles upon which effective ministry is established. Second, programs have been designed for churches like yours to help you flesh out the principles. Since they are static and barely adaptable they may or may not work in your community.

A Healthy Church is a Growing Church
One conclusion is obvious. Healthy things grow. That is true in every area of life including church life. Healthy churches grow. Therefore, as your church improves its health it will gain the strength it needs to make a significant impact on your community.

Our ministry's only agenda is to help your church become and remain healthy. You may already know what you want to do in your community, and it may be the right thing that needs to be done. Creative Seeding will help you and your team look at your church objectively to identify strengths and weaknesses and develop strategies to build on your strengths and strengthen your weaknesses. Wouldn’t it be great to have your whole team pulling in the same direction as you pursue God’s vision for your church?
 
We can create momentum in your ministry by helping you to develop a consistent analytical process that will provide accurate information and suggest creative projects that can be implemented successfully and quickly.
 
As you experience success on a smaller scale, your congregation will feel more comfortable taking on larger challenges. All you need is an objective scale by which to measure your ministry health.

A Changed Church
It is one thing to desire that a church have a particular set of characteristics; it is quite another thing to motivate and inspire enough people to participate so that it may be said the characteristic permeates your church life. The question is, “How do you do that?”
 
A Changed Church — One Person At A Time
We believe if you understand what needs to be done, have transferable concepts and a careful action plan, it is possible to change people one person at a time. When enough people change, then your church will change. Jesus did it. It’s called discipleship - one person at a time.
