Small churches that pay attention to their community make better ministry decisions. This annual assessment tool helps small church leaders notice what is changing in their community — schools, employers, housing, population, transportation — before those changes become ministry crises.
What is included (6 sections):
- School and youth patterns — enrollment, consolidation, schedule changes, students connected to the church
- Employers and work schedules — openings, closings, shift patterns, commute pressures
- Housing, population, and transportation — who is moving in, who is leaving, transportation barriers
- Ministry schedule review — who cannot participate and why, possible adjustments
- Community needs and opportunities — food insecurity, childcare, senior isolation, addiction, mental health
- Decision page — START, STOP, CONTINUE, PARTNER, RECONSIDER with owner and date fields
Designed for: Pastors and leadership teams in small and rural churches. Complete annually with your board or elder team. Takes 60-90 minutes. Free to print and use.
