‘Markers of a Well Church Worker’ — Discussion tool booklet

How healthy is your ministry life?

Markers of a Well Church Worker, a booklet produced by The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), is a practical discussion tool designed to help pastors, church workers, and ministry leaders reflect on their overall well-being through a biblical lens.

Organized around eight key areas, including spiritual, emotional, relational, intellectual, physical, vocational, financial, and wholistic well-being, the resource provides discussion questions, Scripture passages, and personal reflection prompts that encourage healthy habits, meaningful conversations, and sustainable ministry.

Whether used individually, with staff, or in peer groups, this guide helps church workers cultivate resilience, growth, and faithful stewardship in every aspect of life and vocation.
