The Natural Church Development Survey assesses the health of a church in eight essential areas of healthy church ministry. Results from a survey allow churches to evaluate their current health and determine the level of resourcing required for greater effectiveness.
The survey reveals a church's minimum factor - the lowest quality rating in one of the eight areas (lowest barrel stave). The scores for all eight areas of health place a church into one of the 4Rs (categories) of revitalization. For more information you can download more comprehensive documents below.
