About this title

Synopsis

A nut and bolts guide to the "seven key factors" that determine a church's health.

All churches, no matter the denomination, are faced with similar challenges: membership development, leadership development, communications strategy, spiritual development, young adult ministry, listening to parishioner needs, and measuring progress. Here, author Tom Ehrich provides a guide for clergy and lay leaders in a way that's clear and useable. Readers are directed to the church wellness website for more in-depth guidance.

Review

Tom's book reminds us that what we do as a church doesn't have to be that hard or complicated. Effective measuring of our programming and events is essential to doing things well and Tom deftly breaks down some very difficult issues into some very usable and practical pieces. Sometimes it's the simple things that work the best and Tom invites us to take a simple but profound look at how we do `church' and get back to the basics. -- Rev. Philip Lotspeich, Coordinator for Church Growth, General Assembly Council, Louisville, Kentucky

"It is a masterful work and should be required reading for all- in church and classroom." --John Squire, lay leader at St. Bartholomew's Church, New York, and a participant in St. Bart's Church Wellness Project
