Assessment Center
Have you ever wondered if God has gifted you to be a church planter? We’d love to help you discover God’s unique call on your life!
CMC has a track specifically designed for church planters
The CMC has two assessment tracks:
Track 1 | Our regionalized Church Planter Assessment Center (CPAC) is a rewarding, 3-day self-discovery journey designed to help potential church planters and their spouses clarify whether or not they have the specific calling, necessary gifts, and ministry skills to be an effective lead church planter in a congregational style church plant (typically 150+ people).
Along with the guidance from the Holy Spirit, our CPAC utilizes trained assessors, proven self-awareness inventories, group projects, behavioral interviews, and professional psychological analysis to determine whether or not the time-tested 13 characteristics of a lead church planter are wildly evident in CPAC candidates.
Participating in our CPAC event can lead to a gratifying new level of directional self-awareness and assurance in God’s will. In the end, participants will receive a YES (the 13 characteristics are visible in the planter to be able to launch a church plant today), a YES-but not until significant issues have been addressed (proceed in the planting process but develop a growth plan to address issues brought forward in the assessment process), or a NOT YET (the characteristics are not evident in enough volume for the planter to launch a church plant today). CPAC is part of our church planting pre-approval process within every District of The Wesleyan Church.
Follow the 3 step process detailed below and our CPAC team will help you discern God’s unique call on your life!
Track 2 | Our Wiring Assessment for Multipliers is primarily geared for leaders looking to start new expressions of church i.e., Micro churches, dinner churches, missional communities, and/or coffee shop churches. The Wiring Assessment is a powerful tool to help inform a church planting candidate how to best use their gifts in a new start-up. The process utilizes an Initial Screening Assessment (ISA), six inventories, and a leadership 360 that are analyzed by trained assessors. These assessors will assemble a full constellation of the inventories results and describe a candidate’s best ways to serve in multiplication based on their unique wiring given to them by the creator.

*With the CMC assessment grant applied, the cost for a Wiring Assessment is $500 and for a CPAC is $650.

Create a Church Planter Profile account and evaluate your readiness in the areas of entrepreneurial leadership, ministry experience, church planting experience, and relational evangelism. Based on your own private assessment, you will decide to walk further down the church planting path. Typically, a score of 60 or above means you should continue your exploration.
3| CPAC Dates + Sites + Registration
A District or sending church may wish to be your sponsor and will help pay the CPAC fee, so be sure to communicate your intentions with your appropriate overseers. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with detailed instructions of everything you need to prepare before the CPAC.
