Abstrakt

The purpose of this dissertation was to determine if the application of research based on the eight central qualities of healthy churches as defined by Christian Schwarz's Natural Church Development (NCD) and the implementation of changes stemming from this research would transform the life of St. James United Methodist Church in the declining area of Niagara Falls, New York. Data was gathered from a forty-one year period (1960-2001). Members were administered the NCD Survey as a pretest and posttest. Between the surveys, treatment was given for the church's two greatest weaknesses, Passionate Spirituality and Small Groups. Both showed improvement.
