Natural Church Development (NCD)
|
 |
|
Natural Church Development is an important resource
in the district and conference to produce healthy church
growth. We encourage churches, assisted by their NCD
coach in collaboration with the pastor to utilize NCD
for a healthy congregation. NCD resources are available
in the District Resource Center for churches to use.

Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations
|
 |
|
In addition to Natural Church
Development, the district is also a proponent of the
Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations. Some churches
in the district have found this resource helpful in
their growth and development. Resources needed to
implement this program are in the District Resource
Center.
Five practices of fruitful congregations
are:
Passionate worship
Radical hospitality
Intentional faith development
Risk-taking mission and service
Extravagant generosity
To lead the congregation through the five practices,
begin by taking a look at the resources at
Cokesbury online.
