OurChurchREADYDEX™ Research Report
—Assessing Reproductive Capabilities
—There are many ideas today of what makes a “healthy” church. However, the iFOCUS Congregational Development process focuses on enabling churches to become missionary congregations. Thus, a healthy church is defined as a missional congregation that has a large reproductive capacity. OurChurchREADYDEX™ measures the basic reproductive capabilities of a congregation to replicate itself within the segments in the community through the multiplication of new believers, spiritual leaders and congregations. Using a survey of the congregation, OurChurchREADYDEX™ indexes the congregation’s reproductive capabilities by segment on the following issues: (1) levels of a biblical worldview within the congregation; (2) the extent of disciplemaking capabilities; (3) the presence of eight key essential characteristics of a missional congregation, and (4) the level of change readiness among the congregation.
