Healthy Church

Compassionate Outreach

God's love defines the mission and method
for all Christian ministry.
Healthy churches share God's passion,
longing for people to find
wholeness in Christ.
They scan the horizon for those
in their neighborhoods and those around the globe
who need the Good News,
whether it be a word, a touch, or a "cup of cold water."

Questions for Reflection

How do members show their care for others?
What are specific ways that God's love is shown to those outside the church?
In this community, who do you most care about? Why?
What is the church doing about it?
How do non-mmebers in the community describe the church?
