Transforming Churches is an 18-month process designed to help churches and denominations increase their health, laying the foundation for sustainable growth and multiplication.

The primary goal is to encourage, equip and support denominations that are serious about implementing the principles behind Natural Church Development (NCD), helping them to see the change they desire.

This is what it’s all about.

Transformation that leads to healthy, vibrant local churches able to reach out to their local community and experience the growth that comes “all by itself” as God gives the increase.

The Transforming Churches Process consists of:

• Two NCD surveys and Profile Plus reports
• Three 2-day training seminar events
• Access to personalised support throughout from NCD coaches
• Implementation in the local church

Over 50 churches have already signed up to take part in the process.

We’d love for you to be involved!

Natural Church Development is all about releasing the potential that God has already implanted in our lives.

Based on research in more than 40,000 churches on all six continents, NCD describes universal principles that are applicable regardless of culture or spiritual style.

First

NCD focuses on increasing the quality of a church rather than on numerical growth goals. This emphasis on church health has proven to be the key to ongoing growth and multiplication.

Second

The centre of NCD is that “all by itself” principle that can be observed in healthy churches around the globe. All NCD principles are answers to the question: How can this God-given growth potential be released?

Third

On all levels of church life, NCD encourages creativity, authenticity and diversity. Rather than selling a specific church model, NCD helps Christians and churches to discover and develop their individuality.

Fourth

NCD assist believers in rediscovering central Biblical concepts and relating them to their everyday lives. Only those success factors that pass the “Bible check” are incorporated into the NCD tools.

Fifth

It works. Churches that have done three or more NCD Surveys, have increased their average growth rate by 51% between the first and the third survey. We plant, we water. God gives the increase.
