Spritual Health of a Church

I was reading an article (actually, I think that it was a Barna survey) on the spiritual health of churches and what counts as "spiritual health".

Some people point to attendance numbers; others to numbers of people who make confessions of faith or baptisms. I've compiled a list that I believe shows a way to accurately gauge the spiritual health of a Bible-believing church.

In no special order, these areas are:

  • People involved in volunteer ministry (internally and in community service)
  • Church attendance
  • Life change (commitment to Christ/growth spiritual maturity)
  • Accountability (lifestyle led)
  • People involved in Evangelism
  • Growth in Christian knowledge
  • Money donated to church
  • Comments to the pastor
  • People who feel as if they have experienced the presence of God
What are your thoughts and experiences?
