Taking your church on a journey to life

Hvordan virker testen?

Every church is unique. It has its own strengths and weaknesses, its own personality and calling. It is a living organism, not a machine. It grows and develops in its own way, not according to some blueprint or program.

Natural Church Development simplifies the challenge of long-term healthy growth by helping you focus on the principles by which God grows everything in creation.

NCD is a process, not a program. So, rather than making your church look like a carbon copy of some other kind of church, it will draw out its unique God-given identity and purpose. Only by making such a discovery and living it out will you get to see the increasing fruitfulness and life in all its fullness Jesus speaks about.
