Start with a clear picture of your church’s health. This free two-page scorecard helps a pastor and one or two lay leaders notice where leadership development, volunteer support, discipleship, community trust, or pastor sustainability needs attention.

Use the scorecard

Set aside about five minutes. Circle one response for each statement, total each domain, and choose one area to discuss together. There are no passing or failing scores.

What comes next

If leadership development is the area that needs attention, continue with the Lay Leadership Quick Assessment. It helps you choose a practical next step before you identify a potential leader.

This is a self-assessment, not a clinical, legal, or staffing evaluation. Use it as a conversation starter and revisit it as your church learns.
