This checklist has been designed to help churches take a ‘health check’ and identify ways in which they can be more effective as signs and agents of God’s Kingdom.The checklist is part of the booklet created by former Archdeacon Roger Morris called Signs of the Kingdom.
Who should use this checklist?This is a particularly useful exercise for a Church Council or Leadership Group - helping them to identify the church's future priorities. It can also be used with a whole congregation or at a parish away day. Beyond undertaking the actual exercise outlined in this book, a church will need to reflect further on what action it is to take and how progress is then to be monitored. Steps to completing the checklistThe exercise is best undertaken in three hours (with breaks) - perhaps as part of an away day for the PCC or congregation. It can be done in two evening sessions (each around 2 hours long) or in a (shortened) form in one 90 minute session.
