The Journey to A Healthy Church

A Biblical Guide to Revitalization and Renewal

By Pastor Mark Green

What does it look like for a church to be truly healthy?

The Journey to a Healthy Church is a biblical and practical guide designed to help churches remember their purpose, recognize where change may be needed, and return to gospel-centered health.

Drawing from years of pastoral ministry and church revitalization, Pastor Mark Green walks pastors, elders, ministry leaders, and church members through twelve essential areas of church health—from prayer and foundational clarity to disciple-making, stewardship, evangelism, and long-term faithfulness.

This isn’t simply a book about church growth. It’s an invitation to look carefully at what Scripture says the church is called to be and to faithfully pursue that calling together.

Remember. Repent. Return.

Healthy churches don’t happen by accident. They are shaped by a commitment to God’s Word, dependence on prayer, faithful leadership, intentional discipleship, biblical stewardship, gospel-centered outreach, and a willingness to continually examine whether the church is fulfilling its God-given purpose.

The Journey to a Healthy Church provides a practical framework for churches and their leaders to have those conversations and take meaningful steps toward greater biblical health.
