OUR MISSION:
“Our Assessments Help Church Leaders Make & Mobilize Disciples of Jesus Christ“
PART 1: Disciple-Mobilization
Imagine, for the first time in the history of your church, you now have detailed information regarding how God has designed and gifted every church member for Kingdom service! Never again will you cry for “help” before your congregation or run help-wanted ads. God has given you everything you need to do His will. This includes each one of your people and resources like AssessME.org.
Since 2002, AssessME.org has been the leader in Church Mobilization assessments. We have served thousands of churches in 35 countries. Our largest clients have assessed over 10,000 people. AssessME.org is a highly proven and accurate resource. Our hope is that we will soon support your church’s mobilization and discipleship efforts.
THE ASSESSME.ORG MOBILIZATION PLATFORM includes a battery of assessments for personality, leadership style, spiritual gifts, & skills tracking. We offer our assessments on an all-inclusive basis. This is because the data received from each assessment tool not only provides crucial insights regarding the person being assessed, it also serves as “EXTERNAL VALIDATION” regarding the accuracy of assessments on a whole. In short, while each assessment looks at a person’s temperament from a different perspective, the overall message ought to communicate a similar picture of who the person being assessed truly is.
HOW IT BENEFITS YOUR CHURCH: “Understand how God designed each person for ministry service”.
The ePersonality assessment is our most popular tool for managing volunteers. We created it using the classic four-quadrant model, similar to Meyer-Briggs, DiSC, or Keirsey Temperament. However, here’s the big difference: Our assessment is made just for Christians and explains God’s ministry purpose behind their personality profile.
HOW IT BENEFITS YOUR CHURCH: “Personality filtered spiritual gifts explains how each person prefers to use their spiritual gifts…no guessing!“
The GraceGifts assessment is the most advanced test for identifying Spiritual Gifts to mobilize volunteers within your church. Our assessment filters profiles through temperament types resulting in what we call “Gift Expressions“. Gift Expressions clearly portrays how each gift is best applied.
HOW IT BENEFITS YOUR CHURCH: “Understand how to build highly effective leadership teams.“
We created the Leadership Style Assessment to help your church build better leadership teams. This assessment helps people understand their own special way of influencing others and helps them see how their style fits with the styles of other team members.
HOW IT BENEFITS YOUR CHURCH: “God provides your church with everything you need to accomplish his purposes; this includes the skills He has developed within each person.“
Tracking skills is very important for volunteer management. After all, if we believe that God gives His Church everything we need to do His will, this must include the skills God takes credit for giving us (see Exodus 31:1-3). In this way, skills are similar to spiritual gifts but form from the distinct personality He gave us.
PART 2: Disciple-Making
Our Disciple-Making Platform, called NextSteps, is included at no extra cost. NextSteps is a powerful resource designed to radically strengthen your church’s discipleship efforts. Unlike any of our other assessments, NextSteps is built to provide the disciple-making architecture most churches desperately need.
Over fourteen years of research with hundreds of beta-test churches revealed a striking reality: no two churches agreed on the language or process for disciple-making. That’s why NextSteps is 98% customizable—you can edit the assessment questions, labels, and reports to reflect your church’s unique culture. What remains unchangeable, however, is the architecture itself. This framework is what organizes your church to mobilize disciple-makers into the right support roles within your overall disciple-making program.
It has often been said, “Discipleship happens best within the context of authentic relationships.” The NextSteps architecture is designed to bring those relationships together. First, our Mobilization Assessments help individuals discern how and where they should serve. Then, the Disciple-Making Platform connects disciple-makers to lead classes, small groups, and other ministries. At the same time, NextSteps identifies which equipping opportunities—whether classes, groups, or mentoring relationships—will best nurture each person’s spiritual growth according to their current stage of maturity in Christ.
In short, NextSteps provides the structure, flexibility, and relational focus your church needs to enculturate within your church a true disciple-making reformation.
NextStep’s goal…in an ideal church world…every person would be a potential disciple in need of discipleship, and every disciple of Christ would be empowered to serve in the making of more disciples!
HOW IT BENEFITS YOUR CHURCH: “Intentionally disciple every church member, regardless of church size. Simply, our software automatically tracks each person’s spiritual maturity, growth progress, and provides targeted equipping to help each disciple mature in their faith.“
NextSteps makes it possible for any church, regardless of size, to personally disciple each church member. This is possible because our Discipleship Tracker includes two integrated discipleship assessments, plus a custom equipping center. Simply put, our software provides the discipleship architecture your church desperately needs, and the automation to disciple of every church adult a simple reality. Believe it or not, our NextSteps platform is 98% customizable, so your version of NextSteps will represent your unique church culture.

Effective Volunteer Management Gets People Assessed
Our assessment program includes a Mass-Email Invite System. Simply paste-in the email addresses of the people you wish to assess…and hopefully this is everybody in your church…and they then receive a secure email invite labeled with your ministry name. Each person proceeds to create their own user accounts and from there to complete their personal assessments. It is truly that easy! In fact, a mega-church can have the majority of their congregation assessed within only a few weeks. Consequently, inviting people is the only “work” you have when using AssessME.org. We designed our platform to free you to work with people, not software. View our sample “Demo Ministry” email invite below…
