Focus your parish on growing in love of God and neighbor.
"Too often the church relies on anecdotal information to evaluate impact. How do we really know people are growing as Christians and that we are making a lasting difference in their lives? RenewalWorks provides a perfect blend of research rigor and contextual program flexibility to provide substantial and creative support to congregations and their leaders. What we learned from the data reports inspired and improved our program implementation...participating congregations acquired the confidence to address their spiritual longings directly and new appreciation for their distinct gifts in being church where they are planted."
