Description
A healthy church has a clear sense of purpose that is focused on Jesus and what Jesus loves. This clear purpose shapes the church’s ministry initiatives. All areas of ministry and mission—budget, worship, outreach, facility usage, staffing, age-specific ministries, fellowship, meeting agendas, etc.—spring from the vision and purpose.
