The EFCA Church Health Survey

Recently George Gallup was quoted as saying, "The giant assumption is that because the church is growing, the people are growing. The better question is, 'What's going on inside the church that's growing?'" He's right. By itself, growth or size may or may not be a good thing. Health is the critical component.

The EFCA is serious about helping churches find out “what’s going on inside.” That’s why we developed the EFCA Church Health Survey. The result is a reliable benchmark that will enable you to zero in on decisive areas of church health.
