Vitality Survey

Congregational vitality is the Spirit-led, life-giving energy of a community rooted in Jesus Christ and sustained by God’s grace. A vital congregation worships vibrantly, proclaims the Word, forms disciples, nurtures meaningful relationships, and serves its neighbors. Vitality is marked by hope, joy, curiosity, openness, hospitality, and a willingness to say “yes” to where the Holy Spirit is leading. It makes room for questions, new ideas, experimentation, and grace for our growing edges. A vital congregation invests its time, talents, and treasures in sustainable ways that strengthen the church, welcome others, and make a meaningful impact beyond its walls. Ultimately, vitality is not simply about what a church does, but how it lives: with joy, generosity, deepening faith, and a visible sense that God’s grace is at work among us and through us.
