Measurements are important. Numbers tell us where we have been and where we might be headed. Thom and Kevin take this episode to discuss 7 important metrics that should be included on a church revitalization scorecard. 

The 7 church revitalization scorecard metrics:

•     New Christians
•     Total giving more than weekly per capita giving
•     First-time guests
•     Second-time guests
•     Community ministry involvement
•     Worship attendance
•     Prayer involvement

Other highlights:

– What is celebrated gets replicated.
– Sometimes we de-emphasize the measures which aren’t going well.
– Churches must face the brutal facts in order to know where they are going.
– We need to measure what really matters in the church.
– Numbers are our friends. Numbers can indicate our current status, where we have been, and where we might go.
