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.
