Natural Church Development

Natural Church Development in the GRR

This initiative has been tested and proved to produce the fruit of healthier, and most often, growing churches throughout the Kingdom. It is being used by Christians in churches on all 6 continents.

The areas of community life that this initiative helps church members explore include the following:

The best results have grown out of using the services of an outside consultant. The GRR is ready to provide your church with an outside consultant. There are several persons trained and certified as NCD consultants in our region.

Close to 15%, and growing, of our churches in the GRR have used this program and have found it to be helpful for revitalizing their health as a community of faith in Christ.

This program has costs associated with the tools used in the program which are controlled, not by the GRR, but by the developers of the program. Other costs include the travel of the outside consultant; however, the Congregational Ministries Council has recommended to our Executive Minister, and he has agreed, that some grants are available to help with these costs.
