The Congregational Vitality Assessment is designed to provide congregations with an assessment of their health and sustainability. This totally free 100 question survey may be a great starting place to understanding your church from a different perspective.

Vitalize your congregation by engaging your current congregants, attracting new congregants, and understanding your local communities. Increase your ministry impact by comparing members to the community, making informed decisions, and reaching out to bless the community.  Help for Mission Insite at https://help.acst.com/en/missioninsite

Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Neighborhood Demographic Reports provides free online demographic information for the community around your congregation based on U.S. Census data.

God has given us all gifts that we can call strengths or assets. We start by recognizing and listing these gifts. Asset mapping is a tool that relies on the core belief that God has given a church all it needs to do the ministry to which God calls them.
