A mindset of ministry to others is the sign of an outward-focused church. Congregations that serve the physical and spiritual needs of their communities are seen as good neighbors and develop a positive reputation. But becoming an outward focused church requires a big effort; for some it seems impossible.
Use these questions and checklists to evaluate where your church is and to inspire the next steps for turning your church inside out. Each assessment conveniently fits on one page, so they're easy to print, copy, and hand out.
