Kenneth Gangel wrote 12 years ago on the "Marks of a Healthy Church" [Bibliotheca Sacra, Oct-Dec 2001]. Here is a reminder, they are timeless, yet so overlooked today:
1. Healthy Churches are Measured in Spiritual rather than Numerical terms.
2. Healthy Churches follow Biblical rather than Cultural Patterns of Ministry.
3. Healthy Churches are based on Theological rather than Sociological Foundations.
4. Healthy Churches focus on a Ministry Model rather than a Marketing Model.
5. Healthy Churches adopt Scriptural rather than Secular Models of Leadership.
