REVEAL:WHERE ARE YOU? - 8576

Do you ever lie awake at night wondering if your church programs are really helping people grow? For years, church leaders have relied on numbers to help answer questions like these. In other words, we've asked the "How many?" question. Numbers are helpful, but they don't reveal the whole story. Numbers can't peer into the human heart. When it comes to spiritual growth, we need to be able to measure more than numbers. We need a glimpse of people's attitudes, thoughts and emotions. We need a tool that reveals the heart of each person. In an effort to better understand the hearts of people, Willow Creek Community Church undertook a three-year process of study and research to find a way to measure spiritual growth. And to see whether the church was accomplishing its mission of facilitating that growth. To that end, they surveyed not only their own congregation, but also six other churches across the United States. The results of the study were startling. Now Willow Creek invites you to learn from its findings. You'll discover the four segments that characterize the journey of spiritual growth. You'll learn more about what catalyzes and stunts spiritual growth. And you'll understand how the church needs to change in order to help people become more like Christ. What you discover may challenge you. Or confirm nagging suspicions you've had all along. Either way, the findings in REVEAL will undoubtedly change the way you think about church - and what it really takes to make a difference.
