Launching Faith Readiness Assessment
Are you ready to launch faith where life happens?
Starting something new doesn’t begin with certainty, it begins with discernment.
The Launching Faith Readiness Assessment is a short, guided tool designed to help you clarify:
• where you are
• what your community needs
• and what kind of faith expression you’re truly being called to start
This isn’t a pass/fail test. It’s a listening tool, for those who want to move faithfully, not frantically.
What This Assessment Is (and Isn’t)
What it is
✔ A reflective, practical assessment rooted in real ministry experience
✔ A way to name your readiness without shame or pressure
✔ A guide toward your next faithful step
✔ A bridge into the Launching Faith pathway and resources
What it isn’t
✘ A personality quiz
✘ A leadership scorecard
✘ A church-growth formula
✘ A sales gimmick
This assessment exists to help you listen more deeply - to God, to yourself, and to your context.
What the Assessment Helps You Discern
The questions are designed around four core areas:
1. Spiritual Readiness - Are you grounded, healthy, and listening - or exhausted and striving?
2. Leadership Capacity - Do you have the emotional, relational, and practical margin to lead something new?
3. Community Context - Is your community open, curious, resistant, or quietly longing for connection?
4. Expression Fit - Are you being called to start:
a third-space gathering (bar, coffee shop, table)?
a relational micro-community?
a bridge expression alongside a local church?
or a slower season of preparation?
Who This Is For
This assessment is for:
• Pastors and ministry leaders sensing a “holy restlessness”
• Churches exploring new expressions beyond Sunday
• Leaders burned out on programs but hungry for renewal
• Faithful people wondering, “Is it time—and am I ready?”
• Teams discerning whether to launch, pause, or reframe
If you’re feeling the tension between calling and capacity, this tool is for you.

Why We Start Here
Launching Faith is built on a simple conviction: Faithful presence always comes before faithful action.
This assessment is the first step in the Launching Faith ministry, which grows out of the framework found in Launching Faith Where Life Happens - a practical guide for starting Jesus-centered expressions of community in everyday spaces.
We don’t rush people into launching., we walk with them toward clarity.
