That’s easy—every church needs one! Our assessment benefits churches regardless of size, denomination, or spiritual health. Data insights can help your church pinpoint strengths and weaknesses, identify areas where members may be struggling, and reveal opportunities for growth.

We’re big fans of the adage, “You don’t know what you don’t know.” Every leader is different, and ministry styles vary widely across the board. But one certainty remains: An informed church leader is a better church leader. This assessment will provide the knowledge you need to be confident in your ministry strategy and your congregants will reap the benefits.

Yes! Offering this assessment free of charge means you can try it risk-free. It also means church leaders across the country have access to in-depth insights capable of revitalizing their congregations.

If you find Next Step for Church valuable—and we’re confident you will—consider paying it forward. Your contribution will help us continue to provide the platform at no cost so churches with limited resources can take the assessment without any financial burden.

We believe you’ll boost participation by involving your congregation at every stage of the process. Explain the assessment and what it’s designed to do. Share your goals for completing the survey and encourage participants to be honest. Finally, reinforce the idea that every voice matters. Their involvement will help you better care for them as their leader.

Data doesn’t lie. Every church has strengths and weaknesses. Our goal in revealing real—sometimes unflattering—facts about your church’s spiritual health isn’t meant to cause you to question your leadership or worry about your church’s future. Rather, our assessment is designed to equip you with the knowledge you need to help your church flourish.

Research may be our specialty, but helping churches thrive is our passion. No matter your church’s starting point, our experience and resources can set you down the path toward greater spiritual health.
