Church Assessment

DIRECTIONS:



The attached "ATTRIBUTES OF A MISSIONS-MOBILIZED CHURCH" checklist has been designed based on AIMS’ experience of mobilizing local churches for world missions over the past 30 years. By taking this quick "mission check-up" quiz, will help you evaluate the current missions status (activity) of your church. 

The following are some guidelines for taking this assessment: 

• Read each statement and respond by filling in the most appropriate number for your church. Don't think too long, the first number that comes to your mind is probably the best one. 
• Add up your total and put the score in the space at the bottom of the page. 
• There is not a "pass" or "fail" score for this check-up. The only way that any church can "fail" is to not obey God when He speaks about mobilizing further. 
• Later, you can request your elders, deacons or missions committee to do this checkup together. Then, they can compare their scores and use this as a means for discussion. 
• The twenty attributes are not arranged in any particular order of priority. In your thoughtful meditation and discussion, prioritize them yourself according to the need of your particular church. What are the most important things for your church to begin improving on first, second, etc.? 
• The twenty attributes should funnel into the six "CRITERIA FOR A MISSIONS MOBILIZED CHURCH" . These six criteria are measurable; AIMS encourages every church to move towards fulfilling these criteria.
