This booklet is a "nutshell" look at Natural Church Development (NCD) within the Adventist church. Burrill & Evans explain the principles of NCD including the 8 characteristics of a healthy church, how they correlate with the Bible, the Spirit of Prophecy, and how they have historically been used within the Adventist church. They also discuss the benefits - in health and growth - that a church receives from taking the NCD Survey.
