Built on Research. Grounded in Real Ministry.
Get the confidence you need to lead spiritual formation with clarity—because this isn’t guesswork. It’s grounded in data, Scripture, and real-world practice.
A Model You Can Trust
The Discipleship Dynamics Assessment was created with philanthropic support, drawing on the wisdom of national research studies and the experience of pastors and seminary faculty. Built on five key dimensions and 35 measurable outcomes, this tool isn’t just theologically sound—it’s been proven effective in real churches, colleges, and ministry settings across the country.
What Makes This Assessment Different?
The assessment is built on five dimensions of discipleship, each with eight specific outcomes that reflect real-life spiritual maturity.
Backed by philanthropic support
Developed with support from a leading national foundation focused on faith and vocation.
Created by Pastors & Professors
Designed by not only ministry practitioners and seminary faculty but lay leaders and professionals.
Validated in Real Ministries
Measures What Actually Matters
Anchored in five dimensions and 35 biblical outcomes of spiritual maturity.
The Five Dimensions of Discipleship
Every question in the assessment is tied to one of five key areas of whole-life discipleship—giving you a complete, actionable picture of spiritual maturity. These dimensions were identified through biblical reflection, pastoral experience, and academic analysis.
