CBAmerica Summer Summit in Fort Collins, Colorado

The CBAmerica Summer Summer Summit will be held at the First Baptist Church in Fort Collins, CO, from July 23 to 25. The Summer Summit will feature training in church assessment by Dr. Bill Hoyt, President of NexStep Coaching, and I will be attending with four others from our region. We look forward to this time of training, networking and building relationships. You can learn more about the Summer Summit at http://www.cbamerica.org/. Pray for God's blessing upon this time and that we would become better equipped to serve our churches.

The Value of Assessment

One of our churches just completed the Natural Church Development (NCD) Survey. Our office scored the results and the report has been returned to the church. I pray that the report will serve as a catalyst for change and increased effectiveness in ministry, and I look forward to coaching the church through the process of addressing their minimum factor. The NCD Survey provides valuable insights into ways churches can improve their quality of ministry.

The NCD Survey is one tool Mission Mid-Atlantic offers as a means of church assessment. In addition, we are sending five men from our region to Colorado in late July to be trained in church assessment. CBAmerica has secured the services of Bill Hoyt, a church consultant, to train CB leaders from throughout the US in this area.

Feel free to contact our office if you would like to learn more about the NCD Survey or other ways to assess your church's effectiveness.
