ChurchPulse Assessment

Get a snapshot view of how your people are flourishing in their relationships, vocation, faith, and more while also assessing your church's thriving across three areas; nurturing, sending, and leading.

Tools

Get a clear picture

Like Nehemiah measuring the wall before rebuilding it, or Jesus saying you don’t build a tower before first counting the cost (Luke 14:28), measurement is a biblical principle to embrace that helps you be a more effective pastor and leader.

Here’s what you can expect:

Congregant-focused experience

We’ve redesigned the ChurchPulse from the ground up to make it more intuitive and easier for your congregation.

Church health dashboard

Dashboards and custom results that help you see strengths and areas for growth. Move from guessing – to knowing.
