It is often a good idea to take a step back and evaluate your ministry through the lens of someone who is visiting your church.   Volunteers, teachers, and staff can all become focused on getting their specific tasks done or just get a little stuck in the rut of “This is how our ministry has always looked.”  Taking the time to look through the eyes of a visitor often helps us to know where our ministry needs to adapt and where our ministry is exceling.  Here is a brief survey of ten measurements to consider as you assess your ministry.
