Qualities of Holistic Congregations

Tool #6: Qualities of Holistic Congregations

The church is God’s chosen vessel for modeling and sharing the Good News of Christ in our world. There is an indescribable quality about a church committed to living out the gospel that whispers to your spirit: Yes, this is how Christ meant his followers to live, love and serve together. The church may not be perfect, and the vision may not be fully realized, but the active presence of the Spirit can be felt, bringing renewal, growth, and transformation both within the church and extending into the community. Such a body of believers is spiritually dynamic, lovingly nurturing, sacrificially caring and boldly prophetic. We call this a holistic congregation.  Use the attached document to understand the identity of a holistic congregation.
