Getting started with the Church Development Tool

What is your church great at? What support would your congregation like to grow in faith, share their faith and serve their local community? 

The Church Development Tool can help you find out - it's a short anonymous survey you ask your worshipping community to complete online. See how to set it up through AChurchNearYou.com.

We'll explain how to understand and use your results and point you to resources and support you can draw on.
