The mind-boggling flood of recent literature and conferences acclaiming innovative ministry methods has sent many churches reeling with methodological vertigo.  Pastors get spun from one model to another in search of a meta-method that ties it all together and enables them to see "success" in doing God's work.  The Aqua-Church, The Alpha Course, Mosaic, FAITH, The Emerging Church - how do you sort through all the altenatives without becoming hopelessly disoriented?  How do you evaluate them?  How do you know which one is right for the local church in which you serve? 9Marks wants to help local churches re-establish their biblical bearings and re-think their ministry methods.  We exist to help local church pastors and leaders in the discovery and application of the biblical priorities that cultivate health and holiness in the local church.
