On Wednesday Night, January 7th, we will discuss Church Health. As a member of the Chattahoochee Baptist Association’s Church Strengthening Team, I often receive news articles and books about church growth and revitalization. One of those books is called  “What is a Healthy Church?” written by Mark Dever who is pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, DC. He says that there are 9 Marks of a Healthy Church.

1) Expositional Preaching

2) Biblical Theology

3) A Biblical Understanding of the Gospel

4) A Biblical Understanding of Conversion

5) A Biblical Understanding of Evangelism

6) A Biblical Understanding of Membership

7) Biblical Church Discipline

8) Biblical Discipleship & Growth

9) Biblical Church Leadership

In the book, Mark makes the case for each of these 9 Marks from the Bible in general and from the early church in particular.  After reviewing the list, what do you think – Is Northlake a Healthy Church? Please check the poll below and comment on any of these 9 areas that Northlake Baptist Church needs to improve in.
