For several years, church health resources focused on the church as a living body of people via Family Systems Theory with a sprinkling of scripture. Yet, without sound biblical teaching and sound biblical living a congregation will not have sound health as the body of Christ empowered and led by the Holy Spirit.

This site presents a practical ecclesiology (doctrine of the church) for the ongoing journey toward healthy churches for a hurting world.

Clergy and their families today have more stress and far less resources for deal with it than the previous generation had. Thus, this site strives to provide a very large and often updated list of crisis help ministries for clergy, families and churches.
American society is now more open to discussing mental illness. One sign of improving congregational health is the willingness to show radical hospitality to and be in ministry with those who have a mental illness and their families. There are many pages on this site concerning this growing edge of ministry.

Soon, this site will display resources related to the hearing needs of persons in the entire life and ministry of churches. For far too many, the church is the hardest place to hear.

The foundation for this site builds upon my dissertation.
