Introduction to Natural Church Development

Natural Church Development is all about releasing the potential that God has already implanted in our lives. Based on research in more than 45,000 churches on all six continents, NCD describes universal principles that are applicable regardless of culture or spiritual style.

First.
NCD focusses on increasing the quality of a church rather than on numerical growth goals. This emphasis on church health has proven to be the key to ongoing growth and multiplication.
 
Second.
The center of NCD is the all by itself principle that can be observed in healthy churches around the globe. All NCD principles are answers to the question: How can this God-given growth potential be released?
 
Third.
On all levels of church life, NCD encourages creativity, authenticity, and diversity . Rather than selling a specific church model, NCD helps Christians and churches to discover and develop their individuality.
 
Fourth.
NCD assists believers in rediscovering central Biblical concepts and relating them to their everyday lives. Only those success factors that pass the "Bible check" are incorporated into the NCD tools.
 
Fifth.
It works. Churches that have done three or more NCD Surveys, have increased their average growth rate by 51% between the first and the third survey. We plant, we water. God gives the increase.
