Session 1: Introducing New Metrics for Ministry

Before watching the video, engage with the necessary prompts in the study guide.

In this first session, church leaders are invited to examine the importance of measuring what truly matters in ministry, focusing on the health of their church, congregation and leadership. Nona Jones encourages leaders to see today’s challenges as unique opportunities for renewal and growth, guided by Barna’s research.

The session explores key questions to assess a church’s flourishing and thriving, fostering both honest reflection and spiritual preparation for change. Through biblical exploration and group discussions, participants are encouraged to align their ministry’s mission with God’s vision, embracing this season as a kairos moment for their church. Leaders will leave with a clearer understanding of how to implement data-driven insights to steward their ministry more effectively in today’s cultural climate.
