Healthy Church

Healthy churches are missional churches.

It is so vital to be a healthy church. Healthy means much more than being scripturally sound. It means being well rounded and balanced. A nice looking church building has very little to do with being healthy.

If a church is healthy here are some good signs:
1. Evangelism is a way of life among the believers.
2. Discipleship is ongoing for the purpose of reproducing believers and churches; equipping the saints for the work.
3. Worship is spontaneous and lively allowing everyone the freedom to express their love to God.
4. Fellowship is exhibited by openly embracing (genuinely accepting) guests and strangers.
5. Ministry opportunities are expanded and new ministries are initiated.
