REVEAL identifies “best practice” churches – Churches that excel in helping their members grow in their love for God and others are doing a few simple things very well.
1. They get their people moving – They are clear about their intent to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. They do this through offering membership classes like CLASS 101 which introduce newcomers to the church’s mission, spiritual practices and beliefs.
2. They embed the Bible in everything – The most influential catalyst for spiritual growth is personal time spent in reflection of Scripture. God’s Word is used as a guide for decisions and inspiration.
3. They create ownership – To own the vision of the church is to embrace it as part of your identity. The vision is shouldered by a dedicated team of lay leaders who help the pastor unite the church body in a common purpose.
4. They pastor the local community – “Christianity is not a spectator sport”. The top churches are in the thick of their communities serving and meeting needs. They are the hands and feet of Jesus.
