Healthy Churches' Handbook - A Process For Revitalizing Your Church
Robert Warren
‘For many churches, identifying how we are church and how we could be church better is likely to prove the most costly, yet the most fruitful, and creative outcome of engagement with the whole healthy church process.’ Robert Warren

Developed out of the Growing Healthy Churches material, this practical guide helps churches identify their strengths and weaknesses and discover what action to take in order to develop the health of their church. The focus is on the quality of the church’s life rather than just the numbers attending.

While not proposing a '60-minutes to the perfect church' type of solution, Robert Warren offers a realistic and positive process for revitalizing your church. The material is fully road-tested and has been used in local churches across the UK and beyond.

Churches are helped to assess themselves against seven marks of a healthy church:

Energized by faith
Outward looking focus
Seeks to find out what God wants
Faces the cost of change and growth
Operates as a community
Makes room for all
Does a few things and does them well
The goal is nothing less than encountering the reality of God’s presence in and through the life of each church.
