Our experienced Potomac District team has been conducting NCD
Surveys since 1999. The NCD Survey is a wonderful tool that
helps you get a clearer picture of the health of your church. It
also helps you determine where to focus your energies for improvement.
The following information covers basic information about the NDC Survey.
What is the NCD Survey?
The NCD Survey measures the health of a
local church. Based on the research of the Institute for Natural
Church Development in 26,000 churches, it helps a church identify areas
of strength and weakness. On the basis of this, a growth plan is
developed that focuses on the "minimum factor" or weakest area of church
health.
How does the NCD
Survey Work? 30 members (plus the pastor) fill in the survey
questionnaire. The results are analyzed through use of a computer
model that compares the answers of the local church to the 103 million
answers that have been gathered so far. The resulting church
profile reports the quality or health of the church in the following eight key areas
of ministry.
-
Empowering
Leadership
-
Gift-oriented ministry
-
Passionate
spirituality
-
Functional
structures
-
Inspiring
worship service
-
Holistic
small groups
-
Need-oriented evangelism
-
Loving
relationships
Who can do the NCD
Survey? Any church that wishes to analyze its present
situation in order to work on its health can use the survey. The
survey works in churches of all sizes, cultures and spiritual
traditions.
How much does the NCD
Survey cost? Cost of the basic church profile with an
additional custom profile analysis is $175. This fee covers
all materials, processing fees and analysis. Materials will be
mailed to you with instructions. Phone support is also included.
Can you
come to my church to explain and conduct the survey? Yes, we
would be happy to come to your church and conduct the survey in person.
When doing the survey on-site, we come prepared with an NCD PowerPoint
presentation, and answer questions that arise before, during and after
the survey. Call and we can discuss your
situation and the best strategy for you.
