'Natural Church Development is an exciting new way of thinking about the church and its mission which can be easily understood by all.'
This booklet has been prepared for ordinary members of any congregation who want to help their church understand some of the quality characteristics which are basic to healthy growth. It is part of a series of Natural Church development books produced by the BCGA.
Background History
Natural Church Development (NCD) is a concept developed in Germany by Christian Schwarz.
The British Church Growth Association (BCGA) were given the rights to translate Schwarz's teaching into English and to develop a full programme that could be used by churches in Britain.
