 Dear
Kingswood Family,
It was with eager
anticipation, and a bit of anxiety, that I met with our NCD
coach. The results of our second
survey were in, and I was meeting with him to discuss the
results. As he shared with me, I could hardly contain my
excitement. He began, “Chuck, this is the first time I have ever
seen anything like this happen. Kingswood improved in every one
of the eight quality characteristics.” All I could respond was
“WOW.”
We need to CELEBRATE the
improvement that you have made over the last NCD cycle. As for
the scores, the minimum factor we worked on,
‘empowering leadership,’ improved
from 22 to 58 and is now our maximum. Our average score improved
from 36 to 51, a very significant improvement.
Our new minimum factor is ‘Gift Based Ministry’ and our score
is 45. Gift based ministry is defined as follows: The Holy
Spirit sovereignly gives every Christian spiritual gifts for the
building up of God’s kingdom.
 Church
leaders have the responsibility to help each person discover,
deliver, develop and exercise their gifts in appropriate
ministry so that the Body of Christ ‘grows and builds itself up
in love. Our objective over this next NCD cycle will be to help
each person live out this definition of ‘Gift Based Ministry.’
The work that you are doing to
improve the health of Kingswood is very important, and I wish to
commend each of you on the contribution you have made. Healthy
organizations are vital and growing organizations, and we are
well on our way to being a very healthy church. I ask each of
you to join me and the NCD team in working the process that NCD
provides. If you have questions about the process, please
schedule some time with me or any member of the NCD team. The
full set of scores and the names
of the NCD team members can be found
on the church website.
BE BLESSED,
Rev. Chuck
