A Church Flourishing Tool
Every church has a unique contribution to make.
Encourager LIFE is not designed to measure a church’s value by attendance, budget, programs, or popularity. Every church belongs to Christ and has a unique calling within His mission.
LIFE helps leaders reflect on four areas of church flourishing: Leadership, Influence, Formation, and Engagement. The goal is to recognize strengths, understand opportunities, and identify practical next steps toward greater health, faithfulness, and Kingdom impact.
