[1] Whereas it is difficult to measure spiritual growth, churches can measure behaviors related to spiritual growth, such as attendance, biblical giving, Christian service, witnessing and living holy.  Although these indicators are not in and of themselves guarantees of spiritual growth, together they do indicate whether a church body is headed in the right direction.
