Session Description
The goal of this workshop is to look at a handful of Canadian churches through the REVEAL “lens”. This is the real magic of REVEAL. It lets us look at the spiritual health of a church congregation and then identify the biggest opportunities for advancing their spiritual development. Should the church add another weekend service; launch a small group strategy; strengthen its discipleship program? The answers depend on the church and its congregation. Join us for a dialogue about how to think about and measure church “success” in a new way – one that is highly empirical, but very Kingdom-focused.
