One of the key principles of the TCN process is measurement.  By tracking our progress we can see what works and what doesn't, as well as our specific impact on church growth and health.  New statistics from the Mid-South District show an average growth rate of 13.9% for consulting churches six months after consultation, with numerical growth as high as 71 people.  Click here to download the full report.

  

We are asking those who are involved in the TCN process to share some stories of people coming to faith in Jesus through the witnessing or outreach of their congregation. Please e-mail your testimonies to Nicholas.Tieman@gmail.com.

 Tracking Progress Minimize

Measuring progress is important to each congregation involved in the TCN process to celebrate wins and concentrate on areas that need improvement.  It is also important to the TCN process itself to track how congregations are doing in order to constantly measure effectiveness and upgrade quality.  Congregations which have held consultations are asked to submit monthly statistics to TCN using an Excel spreadsheet provided below.  Download the spreadsheet, fill in the metrics and send it as an e-mail attachment to Resources@missions.com
