Despite the barriers, churches are finding effective metrics of soul transformation. Many Christian organizations are unclear about what data is meaningful to their ministry. A chief struggle is the common confusion between inputs and outputs. Simply defined outputs are the results produced by a given organization or process. Inputs are what the process starts with or what it uses along the way. The old church scorecard keeps us from participating in the missional renaissance. Metrics are a way to assess a Church's fruitfulness and identify opportunities for growth.
