Why Church Planter Assessment?

The Wesleyan Church Planter Assessment Center helps a potential church planter clarify and church planting sponsors verify wheter or not he or she has the specific calling, necessary gifts and graces, and character to be a lead church planter. Relying on research-based church planter qualifications and multiple perspectives, a group of trained assessors use behavioral interviews, proven self-awareness inventories, self-discovery experiences, group projects, carefully gathered references, testing and interviews by a licensed Christian psychologist - all under the leadership of the Holy Spirit - to prayerfully evaluate candidates.

Church planter assessment is not a critique or judgment of a candidate's suitability for any other ministry opportunity. Those who are not recommended for church plant leadership may be very effective pastors, evangelists, teachers and other kinds of ministry leaders. Assessment is intended only to determine potential church planter effectiveness.

Assessment is a predictor, but not a gaurantee of future church planting leadership success. It is also not intended for candidates who have already been officially appointed by their sponsoring agency and/or who are actually on-site and already involved in church planting.
