“ H e l p i n g p e o p l e t o f i n d a n d f o l l o w J e s u s.”

FIRST

NCD focuses on the health of a church rather than just numerical growth goals.

SECOND

At the center of NCD is the “all-by-itself” principle that can be observed in churches all around the world.

THIRD

Rather than demanding conformity, NCD encourages every church to discover it individuality.

FOURTH
NCD assists believers in recommitting themselves to central Biblical themes and applying them to their lives.

FIFTH

It works. 85% of all churches that have done the NCD survey a second time, have experienced numerical growth.

At Westheights Community Church our strategy is to be a healthy church. In God’s creation, healthy things are growing things. We have discovered a tool to help us evaluate our health as a congregation. Natural Church Development is an organization that has studied local churches around the world and discovered specific common qualities in all healthy churches. They provide a survey tool that any local church can use to measure their health in relationship to the health of other churches. The links below provide more information about the Natural Church Development principles of church health.
