Natural Church Development

Natural Church Development (NCD) is a survey tool that enables a church to get a clear picture of its status in relation to eight key quality characteristics that are linked to church health and growth. The survey results help a congregation to pinpoint in everyday terms where action or intervention may be appropriate. When a congregation intentionally and consistently addresses the issues that are scored lowest in the survey, the process helps to release the growth potential that God has put within each congregation. NCD focuses on increasing the quality of a church rather than on numerical growth goals, with the assumption that quality improvement will lead to numerical growth over time.

An NCD survey can be completed at any time. For further information about NCD or to conduct a survey, please contact us.
