Transformational Ministry Assessment

What if the most important things happening in your faith community can't be counted?

A new tool for your ministry!

Parish ministry today is complex. Leaders are balancing full calendars, limited resources, and the deep desire to truly accompany people in their faith. However, the common practice of measuring attendance, participation, and giving doesn’t tell the full story. Those numbers don’t measure how people are growing in faith or where real transformation is happening. 

Grounded in Catholic social tradition, the Transformational Ministry Assessment offers a new, hopeful opportunity for parishes to reflect on how its forming people–and where God might be inviting it to grow. 

What you get with it:

PRINTED WORKBOOK

Rooted in the walk to Emmaus story (Luke 24:13-35), this workbook introduces the Transformational Ministry Framework and the importance of shifting how your faith community defines success.

QUESTIONNAIRE

This questionnaire assesses a program or area of your ministry according to four Categories of Transformation: Head, Heart, Hands, and Community to identify measurable ministry outcomes in people’s lives. 

 

GROUP DISCUSSION GUIDES

From reflecting theologically and discussing best practices to strategizing next steps, our discussion materials lead to an actionable conversation about the questionnaire’s results.

CONSULTATION

Our trained facilitators walk with your faith community throughout the assessment process, providing valuable outside perspective and support.

The Four Dimensions of Transformation

TRANSFORMATION OF THE HEAD

Emphasizes growth in knowledge, understanding, and awareness that leads ministry participants to new ways of THINKING.

TRANSFORMATION OF THE HEART

Emphasizes changes in how ministry participants FEEL about themselves, God, and/or others in their community and world.

TRANSFORMATION OF THE HANDS

Emphasizes growth that occurs when changes in thinking and feeling lead ministry participants to new ways of ACTING and being in the world.

TRANSFORMATION OF THE COMMUNITY

Emphasizes transformation that occurs when trust, relationships, and positive COMMUNAL changes occur that impact ministry participants and the whole community.

If this resonates with where your parish is right now, we’d love to connect.
