ASSESSMENTS

What is an assessment center?

It is an intensive four-day event staffed by trained assessors to encourage and observe church planting candidates. Candidates have the opportunity to preach, cast vision, work in team settings and meet with counselors and assessors to prepare for life as a church planter. Assessors provide a personalized and thorough assessment of church planting candidates.

Who are the typical assessment center participants?

Candidate/candidate couple: prospective church planting lead pastor and spouse (if married).

Sending agency: a candidate/candidate couple's sponsoring or sending agency; may be a church, network, region, denomination or church planting organization.

Assessors: experienced church planters or church planting leaders; each sending agency usually sends an assessor.

Observers: individuals interested in observing the assessment process; they do not assess the candidate/candidate couple.

Assessment center team: the team that organizes the assessment center; includes a director, a counselor and an administrator.
