A church is organized in a healthy way when it
is able to achieve its congregational goals in an
effective manner. Unhealthy organization exists
when a church is unable to perform according to
the vision God has given to its leaders. (Phil
Van Auken Sharon Johnson in The Deacon, 12/88
Healthy Church Organization. )
