Church health has never been more important. A Church Health Assessment is an affordable and effective tool designed to help church leaders gain a deeper understanding of their congregation’s needs, strengths, and overall health. This assessment is easy to implement and fully customizable, ensuring that the insights gathered align with your church’s unique priorities and vision.
By blending statistical evidence with relational engagement, the assessment allows church members to feel heard and valued while equipping leaders with meaningful, data-driven insights. The result is more than just a report—it’s a customized framework that helps your church apply its strengths, maximize its potential, and move forward strategically.
The Church Assessment Tool (CAT), facilitated by NL Moore & Associates and owned by HC!C, is an 85-question online survey that gathers input from members and regular attenders. With data benchmarked against 2,800 other churches, this tool provides a statistically valid and reliable foundation for making informed decisions. With a 30-year track record, it has been proven to support churches in navigating key areas such as:
- Strategic Planning – Identifying priorities for growth and ministry effectiveness
