Assessments

We employ various assessment tools to provide valuable insight. Ron has coordinated, written, and participated as an assessor for church planters (Ridley Assessment). Chery has been trained in the process as well.

We have both been trained in the Harrison Assessment and together we have helped people refine their understanding the DiSC results.

Harrison Assessment

The Harrison Assessment is based on 26+ years of research and has been used by over 2 million people. The assessment measures your behavioral tendencies and preferences for specific traits.

Unlike many personal assessments, it isn't a personality inventory. It measures your preferences, interests, and tendencies for specific behaviors.

To take this assessment, you first contact us and we have a link sent to your email address. You submit your responses online, and then we debrief the results with you. You get a pdf report explaining your responses in detail for you to better evaluate where you are strong and how you might improve in those areas that would help you be more effective as a leader. During our debrief via Zoom we show you how to read and understand your assessment report. We recommend you get a coach for greater insights how you could keep improving as a leader.

Church Planter Assessment

FULL ASSESSMENT: Our assessment process involves the leader and his wife and we spend about 8 hours with them. It includes a Ridley Assessment interview and scoring, the DiSC Profile, and a Harrison Assessment. In addition, we require three references for a phone interview, minimal reading with a report, video viewing with responses.

We review and coach the results of the DiSC Profiles and Harrison Assessment. Candidates are responsible for their own transportation, lodging and meals. Dates and locations are by arrangement.

The purpose for our Full Assessment is to give the potential church planter and those who are sponsoring him an indication of their suitability for the work of church planting so that they can determine the Lord's leading on the matter, AND to provide coaches with critical information profitable to them as they work with the church planter. (We recommend every church planter to have a coach.)

Following the time together (2-4 weeks), the assessment team will prepare a complete written report of their conclusions. 

DiSC Profile Assessment

The DiSC Profile is a personality profiling system. It is simple to give your responses and find your results, but talking through those results can help you refine your self-awareness and relationship tendencies. 

The DiSC Profile shows husbands and wives how they can better work in sync with one another. Teams or staffs take the DiSC Profile so that they can work through misunderstandings, better harmonize their efforts, and come to a deeper appreciation of their differences in personality.

We send you the DiSC workbook, you fill in your answers and calculate your score, and together we review and refine your results.
