Growth Indicator Inventory >> Wisdom Concepts...                                 ...Establishing Excellence in Ministries

 

GROWTH INDICATOR INVENTORY

The following inventory is designed to provide a guide to discover the level of readiness of a church to move to greatness. This instrument is used in our consultations with churches. The key is to provide your best answer with total candor and honesty. Your church may want to have several of your leaders or members take the inventory to see if the people are thinking similarly. Take your time. Read each statement carefully.

Instructions: Give your best response to each statement as follows:

1. Strongly disagree
2. Disagree
3. Uncertain
4. Agree
5. Strongly Agree

Choose the number that best describes the church and issues related to the church.
