with the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). However,
it is available for all churches to use if they find it helpful. The current release

offers two assessment tools—you may choose which is more appropriate for your church at this time. “Church MAP” features a 126-question survey to which selected members will respond indicating their perceptions on a variety of church topics. “Missions MAP” features a 42-question survey to which members will respond indicating their perceptions on local, state, national, and international missions. The selection of participants is the responsibility of the church’s designated Administrator.
After tabulating the responses of your church members who were randomly selected
to participate,
will generate reports giving your church’s leadership a snapshot of what your church
perceives about itself in the areas of discipleship, evangelism, fellowship, prayer,
worship, stewardship, theology, lay mobilization
and missions. Responses to each question will also be correlated with the four authenticity
measurements of knowing, obeying, connecting and leading.
Your church’s survey Administrator may download electronic reports from
in PDF File format containing complete summaries based on each authenticity factor
and category. These reports include graphs that will make
it easy for the Administrator and church leaders to communicate the results to their
church family. In addition churches will also receive reports containing detailed
(but aggregate) information about how your survey participants responded to every
question, topic and category.

Administrator will know the identities of the members who participated in the surveys.

responses.

will never provide the names of participants or produce reports attributable to
individual identities. All results will be rolled into aggregate summaries, with
no possibility of discerning a specific individual’s answers to the survey questions.
Finally, you will receive reports containing recommendations and important resources
that have been selected to assist with the particular needs of your church. These
suggested resources may include informational websites, books, training programs,
seminars and conferences, contact information for consultants with expertise in
your area of need, and coaching available from people in your local association
or state convention.
