Laughter
In a healthy ministry, there is joy. People enjoy their roles, the mission and each other, and laughter is often the expression of the joy they share together. There does not have to be Tuesday trips to the bowling alley for the staff to get along (not that there is anything wrong with that), but they actually enjoy working together and serving alongside one another.
New Leaders
The fruit of a disciple is another disciple. The fruit of a healthy ministry is developed leaders who multiply the ministry and expand the kingdom. In a healthy ministry culture, new leaders are given opportunities to be developed through serving, and seasoned leaders are there to provide coaching and encouragement.

These markers are far from exhaustive, but check them in your culture. Is there a dependence on God displayed in prayer? Is there laughter in your halls? Are new leaders being developed and deployed?
