Diagnostic Clinic Day 6

Wooded streamThis program is designed to help a Church understand the meaning of evangelism. It prepares three documents: 1) Church Growth History; 2) Worker Analysis; and 3) Community Setting to set ten year growth goals. It is based on the Fuller Theological Seminary Model and adjusted from experiences in Canada. The Church Growth Diagnostic Clinic takes a church's leadership team through church growth principles, the diseases limiting its ministry, the church's recent history, her people resources and community potential. A plan is then developed to ensure continued future growth. It has been used successfully over 30 times in a Canadian setting.

Step 3 - Three Weeks Prior to the Seminar. The Steering Group conducts an unannounced Survey of Age/Sex on an average Sunday Morning Service. The Steering group initiates a study and discussion of the three prepared documents "Church Growth History" "Worker Strength" and "Community Setting" Disease Analysis, Personal Questionnaire, Group Consensus Gathering and Consensus Goal Setting. The Steering Group meets to assess the effectiveness of the Clinic after a year and to act on congregational goals, implement changes and programs.
