Measuring Success in a Missional Church

Jun 12th, 2008

I found a link to this post this morning in which W. David Phillips offers some suggestions about ways we can measure success in a missional church.

Here are a few of the many ideas on that topic:

# The number of cigarette buts in the church parking lot.

# The number of adoptions people in the church have made from local foster care.

# The number of pictures on the church wall of unwed mothers holding their newborn babies in their arms for the first time.

# The number of classes for special needs children and adults

# The number of former convicted felons serving in the church

# The number of phone calls from community leaders asking the church’s advice

# The number of meetings that take place somewhere besides the church building

# The number of organizations using the church building

# The number of days the pastor doesn’t spend time in the church office but in the community
