Natural Church Development

NCD Canada aims at growing healthy, vibrant churches.

Participating churches complete an annual survey to identify their strengths as well as opportunities for growth in eight essential areas:

• Empowering
• Leadership
• Gift-Oriented Ministry
• Passionate Spirituality
• Effective Structures
• Inspiring Worship Service
• Holistic Small Groups
• Need-Oriented Evangelism
• Loving Relationships

 NCD is one tool offered to churches to encourage, enable and equip people for ministry. It is a long-term process that emphasizes quality of growth over quantity of growth. Following are some resources describing how it works. 

• NCD: All By Itself Growth
• NCD: Scriptural Basis
