Without Records, How Will You Know What’s Happening in the Body?
- How are you going to know how the members of the Body value what is happening in your Church?
- How are you going to know what the Body needs in order to keep growing?
Both Record Keeping and Reporting will help you keep a pulse on the Body.
Statistical records shouldn’t be our sole source for making such assessments. Reports from your own observation, by ministry leaders, and even one-on-one discussions with members of the Body, will help to confirm or explain what your see in the records. The reports don’t always have to be written, though having them in writing could aid you in future assessments.
In addition to the content on this page, the Steering the Church Toward Body Life Leadership Guide provides some brief input about the questions asked herein.
