HEALTH & HEALING

Please notify the church office if you or someone in your family will be hospitalized so we

If you are standing in the need of prayer, the Intercessory Prayer Ministry would like to encourage you to

take time and fill out a prayer card. The cards are located in the pews and are reviewed by the Pastor and

the Intercessory Prayer Servant Leader. Once you complete the card, you may place it in the prayer box

Prayer is also available every Sunday following morning worship service in the Chapel with one of the Inter-

cessory Prayer Ministry members.

Transformational Church Assessment Survey

The Transformational Church Assessment Tool (TCAT) provides the church with the ability to assess the

health of the congregation, celebrate areas of strength, and address areas of concern. Transformational churches

make disciples whose lives are being transformed by the gospel so that the culture around them is ultimately

transformed. The purpose of the assessment is to celebrate strengths, discover weaknesses. So the congregation

can say “This is who we are.” “This how God wants to use us.” “This is what our church should be doing be-

cause this is our strength.” “We’re weak in this area, but we can fix this.” “This doesn’t fit the personality of our

church, maybe we shouldn’t be doing this.” I believe this is the beginning of transforming our church into the

church that God desires us to be. It is the beginning because prayer and the Holy Spirit will ultimately tell us

who we are. But this assessment is a guideline that will help the process.

Here's what we can expect to learn through the TCAT:

How well we are integrating new members into the life of the church

How well members understand the vision and mission of the church

How they perceive the leadership of the church

How they feel about the small group ministry (Sunday School, small groups, etc.)

How meaningful their worship experience is

How they approach the lost within the local community

How prayer fits into their daily lives

Their attitudes about lasting relationships between members

How they think they should engage the community
