See where your church
actually stands.
Fifty questions, fifteen minutes, free. You get a report showing what is strong, what is struggling, and the three things we would do first.
A report, not a score.
Ten areas, scored and explained
Leadership, discipleship, trust, mission, money, the next generation, and four more.
Three things to do first
Small enough that a church of sixty with no budget can start on Monday.
A document for your leaders
Printable. Yours to keep. Nothing obliges you to talk to us.
Churches that already sense something.
- The numbers look fine and something still feels wrong.
- Three strategies in five years, none of them stuck.
- The leaders and the congregation describe two different churches.
- Everyone agrees something must change. Nobody agrees on what.
Three steps.
Answer
On your own, or send a link to your leaders and members.
Read
The report comes back straight away. Print it for your next leadership meeting.
Decide
Act on it yourselves, or book an hour with us.
Many churches act on the first two priorities and never need us. That is a good outcome.
Three movements, in order
A church cannot be recalibrated while its leadership is unwell, so the order is part of the method rather than a way of arranging the words.
Revitalize
What has gone quiet can live again. Vitality, mission, and the church's presence in the place it actually stands.
- Christ-Centred Vitality
- Mission & Evangelism
- Community Engagement
Recalibrate
Not more activity — better alignment. How people are formed, placed, governed and raised up to follow.
- Discipleship Pathway
- Volunteer Capacity
- Governance, Clarity & Stewardship
- Next Generation & Pipeline
Restore
The fracture is where the light comes through. Leaders, trust and belonging — repaired before anything is rebuilt on top of them.
- Leadership Health
- Retention & Belonging
- Communication & Trust
What a session actually looks like.
Not a slide deck. A church's own leaders, its own words on the wall, and an order of work that does not move on until the step before it is settled.
No participant appears in these photographs. Church sessions are confidential, and consent to be photographed is not consent to be published.
Read every question before you answer one.
No attendance question
The number churches can least control, and the one that says least about faithfulness.
Health before restructuring
If leadership or trust is low, the report says so first — whatever else the numbers show.
We withdraw our own numbers
In August we removed a statistic church literature had repeated for years. The source did not contain it.

Begin where your church actually is.
A low score is not a verdict on faithfulness, and decline is not automatically unfaithfulness. He builds it; we are asked to be faithful with what is in front of us.
