Helping our people grow in Christ is a major initiative for 2012 here at IBC. But how will we know if we are successful? We can measure things like offering and attendance but does that really tell us whether or not someone is becoming more like Christ?
Willow Creek Community Church in Chicago area developed a study called Reveal. The results of Reveal will show a great deal of where IBCers are on their journeys, the unique needs they have along the way and how the church has met, and failed to meet, those needs. The study involves three different surveys, over the course of three years. IBC will be kicking off the first of these studies in February of 2012. A team of people will be prayerfully considering the data we receive back from Willow Creek and will be developing plans to help IBC and our people grow in Christ.
