25. Reading Through Report
• The Rabbit Count – “Multiplying” “Health”
• 1 is dysfunctional,
• 2 is low functional but normal for mainline ch
• 3 is really good for mainline churches – often
a sign that there are evangelicals in the mix…,
• 4 is the energy of a wildfire.
• A church with 2 across the board is probably
slowly declining but functional, and may have
leader capacity (lay and clergy) to make some
very helpful and positive moves forward.
• When 3’s begin showing up, chances are
good that there is some growth.
34. Reading Through Report with
Churches
• The Four Areas in Detail
• Bullet points. Plus or minus?
• What’s the Ah-ha or BIG IDEA?
• What questions does this bring up?
35. Reading Through Report

these churches futures.
SO FAR OVER 400 MAINLINE CHURCHES IN THE USA HAVE TAKEN THE READINESS 360 SURVEY.
And THIS IS HOW THE BUNNY COUNT HAS BEEN TRACKING FOR US.
Bunny Count: Early returns seem to indicate that
1 is not functional, dysfunctional,
2 is low functional but normal for mainline churches, esp. in suburbs or First churches.
3 is really good for mainline churches – often a sign that there are evangelicals in the mix…,
4 is the energy of a wildfire.
A church with 2 across the board is probably slowly declining but functional, and may have leader capacity (lay and clergy) to make some very helpful and positive moves forward.
A church with 3 across the board is almost certainly growing. When 3’s begin showing up, chances are good that there is some growth.
A church with all 3’s and a 3.5 is most likely capable of multiplication. Throw a 4 in the mix, and I guarantee you can multiply!
Flat curve: On some reports, where for example, there are 2 bunnies on each driver, it may be hard to discern where to point the church in terms of focus. A conversation with the church leaders as you talk with them through the report may (if you take notes) yield some ah-has.

Are there any leadership tips that are related to others?
