Becoming a Healthy Church Workbook

This is the tool you need to evaluate and improve the health of your church. Becoming a Healthy Church Workbook, the companion to Macchia's book Becoming a Healthy Church, provides summaries of the ten characteristics of a healthy church and looks at seven key questions that need to be answered by every leadership team. Each of the seven questions forms a step in the ministry planning process, which will help you and your church leaders assess the health of your church, realize its potential, and become unified with a plan toward greater health and vitality."All too often assessments ask the right questions but leave you hanging. This outstanding workbook takes you through a well-facilitated strategic planning process that develops healthy, realistic timelines for success."
