Assessments that Make & Mobilize Disciples!
OUR ASSESSMENTS PURPOSE:
AssessME.org exists to provide the local church with professional human resource assessments, designed to support the Biblical mission of MAKING and MOBILIZING disciples of Jesus Christ. Most of our assessments support ministry mobilization, with the exception of our NextSteps program which is designed to support active discipleship in any church, regardless of size.
OUR ASSESSMENT HISTORY:
Work on our assessments started in 1995, when David A. Posthuma was a church planting pastor. By 2002, he felt called by the Lord to create a professional assessment system with a database and reports. That same year, he shared his idea with James Wiersma, a skilled web programmer, and they started E-Church Essentials, LLC.
They tested the assessments in 2002, and by 2003 they were available to the public. From 2003 to 2005, they made small changes to improve wording.
Today, AssessME.org has served churches in 35 countries. Some of the largest churches have used it to assess more than 10,000 people! AssessME.org is a trusted and well-tested system made just for churches.
Please note: AssessME.org is made to be an all-in-one program. We believe each assessment gives important information to help place people in the right areas to serve. It also shows each person’s level of spiritual growth. Once registered, your ministry will have access to all of the following assessments….
