10 Marks of An Effective Church

I read the following by Dave Early on “10 Marks of an Effective Church” looking at the book of Acts to see what made the church of Antioch effective:

1. Effective Evangelism (Acts 11:19-20)
2. Multicultural Outreach and Appeal (Acts 11:19)
3. Evidence of God’s Presence and Pleasure (Acts 11:21-23)
4. Godly Leadership (Acts 11:24, 13:2)
5. Visible Growth and Strength (Acts 11:24)
6. Strong Teaching (Acts 11:25-26)
7. Responsive Generosity (Acts 11:27-30)
8. Spirit-soaked Worship (Acts 13:1-2)
9. Fasting and Prayer for Guidance (Acts 13:3)
10. Multiplication by Sending Out Leaders (Acts 13:2-3)
