Discipleship Assessment

Discipleship Assessment
At Immanuel, we believe that discipleship is a lifelong, everyday journey of GROWING with Jesus, CONNECTING with Jesus' family, and SHARING Jesus with all the world.

This assessment is a tool to help you evaluate your growth as a disciple and to help provide areas of focus for your future development. Respond honestly to the statements using the following scale:
1 – Rarely characteristic of me/rarely true for me.

2 – Occasionally characteristic of me/true for me–about 25% of the time.

3 – Sometimes characteristic of me/true for me–about 50% of the time.

4 – Usually characteristic of me/true for me–about 75% of the time.

5 – Highly characteristic of me/definitely true for me.
1. I approach all I do as service to the Lord and for His glory.
