OUR MINISTRY MISSION:
“Equipping churches to MAKE & MOBILIZE more disciples of Jesus Christ through professional human resource assessments.”
PART 1: Assessments for Disciple-Mobilization
Imagine you have used our assessments within your church, and now—for the first time in your church’s history—you have detailed information about how God designed and gifted every church member for His Kingdom service! Never again will you need to ask your congregation for “help” or post help-wanted ads. God has already given you everything you need to do His will…this includes each one of your people and valuable resources like AssessME.org.
Since 2002, AssessME.org has been the leader in Church Mobilization assessments. We have served thousands of churches in 35 countries. Our largest clients have assessed over 10,000 people. AssessME.org is a proven and accurate ministry resource. Our hope is that we may soon support your church’s mobilization and discipleship efforts.
NOTE: AssessME.org is an all-inclusive assessment resource! Our assessments include….
HOW IT BENEFITS YOUR CHURCH: “Understand how God designed each person for ministry service”.
The ePersonality Assessment is our most popular tool for managing volunteers. We created it using the classic four-quadrant model, similar to Meyer-Briggs, DiSC, or Keirsey Temperament. However, here’s the big difference: Our assessment is made just for Christians and explains God’s ministry purpose behind their personality profile.
HOW IT BENEFITS YOUR CHURCH: “Personality filtered spiritual gifts explains how each person prefers to use their spiritual gifts…no guessing!“
The GraceGifts assessment is the most advanced spiritual gift test available to the local church. Our assessment filters profiles through temperament types resulting in what we call “Gift Expressions“. Gift Expressions clearly portrays how each gift is best applied.
HOW IT BENEFITS YOUR CHURCH: “Understand how to build highly effective leadership teams.“
We created the Leadership Style Assessment to help your church build better leadership teams. This assessment helps people understand their own special way of influencing others and helps them see how their leadership style fits with the styles of other team members.
HOW IT BENEFITS YOUR CHURCH: “God provides your church with everything you need to accomplish his purposes; this includes the skills He has developed within each person.“
Tracking skills is very important for volunteer management. After all, if we believe that God gives His Church everything we need to do His will, this must include the skills God takes credit for giving us (see Exodus 31:1-3). In this way, skills are similar to spiritual gifts as they develop out of the distinct personality God gave us.
PART 2: Disciple-Making, Tracking Faith in Christ
Our Disciple-Making Platform, called NextSteps, is included at no extra cost. NextSteps is a powerful resource designed to radically advance your church’s discipleship ministry. Unlike any of our other assessments, NextSteps is 98% customizable and is designed to provide the disciple-making architecture most churches desperately need. As a result, your church’s version of NextSteps will clearly represent your unique church culture.
SPECIAL NOTE: A prime purpose for using our MOBILIZATION assessments is so that you will have the staffing you need to support your NEXTSTEPS discipleship equipping program!
We developed NextSteps over the course of fourteen years of research, in partnership with hundreds of beta-test churches, and with the final system build developed in association with a West Coast Super Mega-Church (We are under contract to not disclose this church’s name). This extensive work revealed a striking reality: No two churches agreed on the language or process for disciple-making. That’s why NextSteps is 98% customizable—you may edit the questions, labels, and reports to reflect your church’s unique culture. What remains unchangeable, however, is the architecture itself. This framework is what now organizes your church to disciple people effectively, because your people clearly know what discipleship programs are recommended for their development, and your church leadership has clearly identified (via Mobilization Assessments) disciple-makers who will lead your various discipleship programs.
NEXTSTEP’S PRIMARY GOAL: 1) To support the personal discipleship of every willing person within your church!
HOW IT BENEFITS YOUR CHURCH: “Intentionally disciple every church member, regardless of church size. Our software tracks each person’s spiritual growth progress and provides targeted equipping to help each disciple mature in their faith.“
NextSteps makes it possible for any church, regardless of size, to personally disciple each church member. This is possible because our Discipleship Tracker includes two integrated discipleship assessments, plus a custom equipping center. Simply put, our software provides the discipleship architecture your church desperately needs, to disciple of every person ages 16 or older. PLEASE NOTE: Our NextSteps platform is 98% customizable, so your version of NextSteps will represent your unique church culture.

How Our Assessment Program Gets People Assessed
Our program includes a Mass-Email Invite System. Simply paste-in the email addresses of the people you wish to assess…and hopefully this is everybody in your church…and they then receive a secure email invite labeled with your ministry name. Each person proceeds to create their own user accounts and from there to complete their personal assessments. It is truly that easy! In fact, a mega-church can have the majority of their congregation assessed within only a few weeks. Our largest clients have assessed over 10,000 people! Consequently, inviting people is the only “work” you have when using AssessME.org. We designed our platform to free you to work with people, not software.
