As I work with church leaders around the country, there is one question that comes up regularly:
“What exactly do you measure each week at your church?”
Because leaders know that “what gets measured gets done,” and you can’t manage what you don’t measure.
Just as you stay (or should stay) on top of the numbers that gauge your health, eg. blood pressure levels, weight and height — the same is true when gauging the health of your church.
The numbers are blinking indicators that let you know if all systems are well maintained or if they are in need of improvement. Keeping track of specific numbers on a weekly basis is the single best way to get an accurate sense of what’s going on in various areas of your church.
So today as a senior pastor and coach for over 3,500 churches of all sizes and denominations, I’d like to give you an inside look at the measurements we use at The Journey Church…and why they are important.
In this new post-Covid reality, my “What Gets Measured?” e-book has been revised and expanded to help you identify the numbers that matter for both in-person and online church.

When it comes to health, whether physically speaking or within a church, numbers matter — a lot. And as pastors our numbers take on even greater significance because:
Every number we track represents a person on a journey toward becoming a fully developing follower of Jesus.
We are simply taking responsibility for the sheep God has given us to shepherd. Join me in staying on top of these critical numbers to get continually better in the areas God wants to improve.
