Real Discipleship Survey
The Real Discipleship Survey is an instrument designed to support the development of maturing disciples at both the personal and congregational levels. It measures the level of maturity in each of six dimensions of discipleship:
- A Life of Worship
- A Life of Hospitality
- A Life Opening to Jesus
- A Life Obeying Jesus
- A Life of Service
- A Life of Generosity
At the personal level, each participant receives a report indicating the level of maturity for each dimension, possible next steps for growth, and suggested resources for personal development. It is a powerful tool, particularly when used in a discipleship coaching relationship, for supporting the development of growing disciples.
At the church level, each participant receives the report as described previously. In addition, the church administrator receives a matrix giving the percentage of persons identifying themselves in each of the levels of maturity for each dimension. This is an invaluable resource for discipleship teams in planning for the support of an intentional discipleship process.
The Real Discipleship Survey is available for individual purchase, congregational purchase, and Conference contracts for system-wide availability. The cost of an individual survey is $4.95.
Individuals and local churches can purchase and take the survey by click here.
Regional Contracts:
Regional contracts are also available for the Real Discipleship Survey. For the price of one person to take the survey, an entire congregations can have access to the survey under regional contracts. The regional portals offer much more advanced statistical analysis and control for entire regions of churches.
