Tools and advice for assessing your church

"These are dangerous days for the organized church.... It is time to be alert to what is taking place and make some changes."

So writes Lloyd Perry in his introduction to Getting the Church on Target. Dr. Perry then goes on to outline ways the local church can be revitalized. His concerns are reflected in chapter titles such as:

• Having God's Man in God's Place for Ministry
• Clarifying Purposes, Goals, and Objectives
• Systematizing Church Management
• Training for Leadership
• Mobilizing the Laity
• Managing Conflict Creatively
• Establishing Small Groups for Ministry
• Expanding the Outreach of the Church
• Updating Our Worship

The final chapter includes five sample self-evaluation surveys to help a church assess its problems and progress.
