Synopsis

A 100-Day Plan That’s Practical, Realistic, and Actually Works

You see the problems in your church, and you truly believe it could be better. Not perfect, but healthier. If you want more for your church but aren’t quite sure how to get there, 100 Days to a Healthier Church was written for you. It teaches you how to:

• Identify your church’s current level of health using the "Church Health Continuum"
• Make big changes through small nudges rather than giant leaps
• Grow your strengths and tackle your weaknesses one at a time

After years of trial and error, pastor and author Karl Vaters developed a tested and proven 15-week process that’s manageable, adaptable, and effective. It won’t fix everything overnight, but it will help you figure out what to do next. Great for individual pastors, perfect for church leadership teams!
