Sunday 8.16.20 - "What Makes a Healthy Church?" - Fr. Al Janssen
•
Christ Our Hope Anglican Church
The characteristics of a healthy church - especially in the Western world - are often reduced to a set of metrics. What's your average Sunday attendance? How many programs does your church offer? Does your building use the most modern technology? Yet in Paul's second letter to Timothy - presumably the final letter he would write in his life - we are shown a rather different set of characteristics for how to evaluate the health of a church.
Fr. Al Janssen begins a series on 2 Timothy to bring us to the end of his season as interim rector of Christ Our Hope, offering three introductory characteristics of a healthy church to encourage and prepare the congregation to welcome a new pastor.
