What makes a healthy church?

Recently I read a booklet about the traits of a healthy church. According to this writer, a church that is strong in all eight of these traits will also naturally be a growing and healthy church.

These are the qualities:

1. Empowering leadership.
2. Gift-oriented ministry.
3. Passionate spirituality.
4. Functional structures.
5. Inspiring worship service.
6. Holistic small groups.
7. Need-oriented evangelism.
8. Loving relationships.

According to the writer, after studying at least 1000 churches of all sizes, from all five continents, including countries where there is persecution and countries where churches are supported by the state, and also including countries where there is great revival as well as countries where faith seems to be on the decline---these eight qualities were true of every growing and healthy church.
