The Nine Marks

The Nine Marks are a set of guiding principles aimed at building healthy, biblical churches. They include biblical preaching, biblical theology, Jesus Christ’s gospel, a biblical understanding of conversion, church membership, biblical church discipline, biblical leadership, church relationships, and the importance of a healthy church-loving community. Together, these marks serve as a practical framework for church leaders and members to foster faithfulness, spiritual growth, and unity within the church. By focusing on these core areas, churches can stay true to their biblical foundation and effectively promote a vibrant, Christ-centered community.
