Church Health Assessment Survey

"The CHAT church survey really stands out. I like how CHAT identifies your church's strengths, involves every member, is easy to take online, and offers highly-readable results. What a great tool to assess where you are, fill people with hope, and together discern God's will for your future."

"Steve Macchia is at it again. His burning passion to see churches achieve maximum health has taken the next step. CHAT (Church Health Assessment Tool) provides churches with an easy-to-use look at themselves that could move many congregations toward the health that Steve (and, more importantly, the Spirit) envisions."

Larry Crabb

"Without a doubt, one of the greatest needs of a large number of churches in America is to become more healthy. Leadership Transformations' new CHAT survey should be a great help to all who use it. It is a joy to recommend it to you!"

Church Leader Survey

Church Leader Survey — Feedback Strengthens Leadership

A church leader survey is a helpful tool for collecting feedback from those in leadership roles. The healthiest churches welcome feedback and put mechanisms in place to periodically ask for input. Feedback improves the church's ability to discern next steps and strengthens the commitment of those who serve by communicating that their observations, needs, ideas, and frustrations are all important. For the leadership team as a whole, collecting feedback using a church leader survey helps bring all the presenting issues and ideas into the open where they can be discussed. This promotes healthy dialogue and helps the team deal with problems by attacking issues instead of people. This process also aids the leadership team in defining priorities and removing obstacles that get in the way of effectiveness. You'll get the most out of your leaders by asking for their input and demonstrating that it's valued and taken seriously.


Church Leader Survey — Less Cost and Hassle than You'd Think

A church leader survey can be less costly and time-intensive to administer than you might expect. In addition to your leaders, when was the last time you invited input from your congregation? Directly comparing the feedback from the leaders with that of the congregation can be very insightful in determining the unity or discrepancy between the opinions of the two groups. The value of engaging in a process like this is to gain clarity on what's working well and what isn't, where limited resources should be allocated, where additional leadership emphasis is needed, etc. Conducting a church survey is a great way to prepare for budget planning or annual planning. This feedback exercise can be facilitated over the Internet, in 30 days or less, with no survey tabulation work for the church, for under $800 (in most cases).
