  • Human bodies and church bodies share a lot of similarities. To name a few:

    1. Our parts are many, varied, and interconnected
    2. We can accomplish amazing things
    3. We function best when we’re healthy

    When your body is less than healthy, you make an appointment with someone you trust to identify the problem and find a treatment to get you firing on all cylinders again. They check a short list of “vital” signs (temperature, weight, blood pressure, etc.) to gain insight into your condition, diagnose the problem and prescribe a solution.

    The following brief questions are designed to accomplish the same thing for your church body. As you answer each question as honestly and accurately as possible, you can check basic vitals and evaluate the condition of your church body. If your condition leads you to seek help- please contact Jim Hardy at jim.hardy@calvary.ch to discuss where to go from here. We may be able to partner with you for better health and growth.
