Church Health Categories

Your church will be scored in three categories–Missional Identity, Vision and Leadership. Based on our research, churches that are healthy have a strong sense of who they are in Christ and an awareness and commitment to His mission, have a clear and compelling vision, and are led by leaders who reflect the character of Christ.

Scoring

Each score is given a descriptor that reflects strengths or challenges. A higher score indicates healthy practices. Lower scores encourage leaders to strengthen that aspect of the church’s ministry.
