The Natural Church Development Audit is the best tool that we have come across to date to help a church place a ‘corporate X on the map’ to define its starting point.
So far amost 60 churches in Northern Ireland have used this survey to help them consider their current 'state of health'. It is proving extremely beneficial - rather like a visit to the doctors for a health check. It will show the current areas of strength and weakness within the church's life based upon a survey of the active members of a church. For more information see the related document 'A Church Health Check' below.
The survey form used can be downloaded (see below) and photocopied as many times as you wish. Should a church choose to proceed with this very useful 'self-examination' the cost is only £250. This fee will enable EM to process the survey forms, produce a full report for the leadership and spend at least one evening presenting the findings of the survey to the church's leadership.
