What Do You Measure? (3)

Earlier I mentioned what my friend Chris measures as signs of church health: (1) Community Impact, (2) Changed Lives, (3) Committed Leaders.

Here’s a question: How exactly would you measure each of those?

That’s part of the trick with churches. Many of the most important things are very hard to measure. For “Community Impact” Chris is thinking about counting how many hours his people are out serving in the community. He’s talking about having a goal for the year, maybe like 3,000 hours out serving in the community.

So how would you measure each of those? Or how would you measure whatever you think is worth measuring?
