Importance: 50%
The Big Idea: Being obsessed with the number of people in worship can be a very unhealthy way to measure a churches health. While it is a valid metric here are a few others that can give a different perspective.
-
Percentage of congregation involved in Bible Study - From Kober, Built on the Rock.
-
The number of distinct cultural groups represented in congregation. This can be called the Cultural Diversity Metric.
-
Mission focus and outreach
-
Leaders in apprenticeship or mentor relationships/program or think about the “bench” of leaders that is in our congregation
