9 Marks of a healthy Church

A few months ago a really good friend of mine passed this website along to me. http://www.9marks.org/partner/0,,314526,00.html I figured why not read it? So as I got reading it further I really felt like those "9 Marks" were very important to the health of a growing church. Do we as a Church (the body of Christ) want to continue to grow? Then we need to encourage our Churches to follow these nine marks. I'll put the list Below, please check out the website above to read much more.
