/files/ECC/Images/02 Health.JPG

The Church Health Commission serves the local church that is in decline and in need of renewal and development.

The commission will give direction and oversight to a variety of programs:

  • Vision 20/20 Ministry Teams are designed to assist a local church in conducting SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportuities, Threats) analysis identifying core values and developing purpose, mission and vision statements.
  • Natural Church Development Surveys/Consultations which serve as "health screenings" for local churches.
  • Conflict Mediation, which is used when congregational conflict cannot be resolved by the congregation's leadership.
  • Urban Network is designed to network and resource urban Evangelical Congregational Churches that are committed to making disciples in the urban neighborhoods where God has planted them.
  • Yoked Ministry is defined as two or three congregations yoked together in a charge relationship and sharing one pastor.

The commission will also develop a plan for congregational mentoring whereby healthy congregations provide encouragement, counsel, resources and personnel to mentor congregations which desire to become healthy.
