Church Strengths Accelerator

Church Strengths Accelerator

This is an assessment on your current church experience

You'll see a series of statements about your church. After each one, pick the response that best shows how much you agree with it. Be as honest as you can, answering based on your church as it is right now—not how it used to be or how you wish it was. This should take about 20 minutes.
