Church Health :: Vision Hospital or Fitness Center   When you hear the word, “Health” what comes to mind? A Hospital or a Fitness Center? Hospitals focus on “diagnosing symptoms and stabilizing.” Fitness Centers focus on “building strength and stamina.” Both are very important and, as a district, we are ready to help churches and church leaders “grow stronger” or “get back to health”. However, our primary role in Church Health is to provide a Fitness Center that focuses on equipping churches for intentional disciplemaking. Our Core Objectives Evangelizing lost people to receive Jesus Christ and experience new life in Him. Establishing Christians and helping them grow to maturity in the faith. Equipping Christians to serve with the gifts and talents God has given them. Empowering and developing leaders who will impact our world for Christ by ministry multiplication. Our Strategy   We seek to serve the Church by networking local congregations with ministries, individuals and resources that strengthen the church to faithfully advance the fulfillment of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). We are developing a network of Church Effectiveness Coaches within the district who can share their expertise in various areas of church health. Our Services   The primary services we employ include training, coaching and consulting in "whole-church" disciplemaking, leadership development and ministry coaching for pastors, and curriculum development for intentional discipleship. Our training and coaching fall under one of four categories: Numeric growth Spiritual growth Church Effectiveness Leadership Development and Multiplication Our Fitness Center Equipment List Assimilation Seminar and Consultation Worship Ministry Consultation Intentional Disciplemaking Workshop Training and Coaching Process for Church Effectiveness Church Health Survey and Consultation Staffing and team-building Small Group Ministries Executive Ministries Coaching Glocal Missions Strategic Planning Train the Coach--Coaching for Life: Balancing Life’s Demands
