PULSE
The Church Revitalization Task Force (Carl Greene, JR Shick, Patti Wethington, and Frank Mazza) has been working diligently over the past year to provide an assessment process to use to help a church diagnose the state of its health.
This process is currently being implemented in six churches but we are inviting your church to participate.
When we assess our personal health, one of the key indicators is our pulse rate. Is it too high? Too low? Is our heart still beating?
We want to help you take the pulse of your church’s health.
Introducing PULSE – a church health assessment process!
PULSE is a PROCESS to help your church assess its health…
and ACTIVELY advance God’s Kingdom.
For more information, visit seventhdaybaptist.org/pulse or
contact the Director of Church Development.
