Consider taking the survey…

“We undertook a Reveal Survey in 2010. We had been talking about discipleship or spiritual transformation for some time and how we might be more effective at helping people grow to be more like Jesus. The Reveal survey was a full and comprehensive assessment of our current position and opened our eyes to how we were really doing and where we needed to improve. The consultation we received after taking the survey was incredibly helpful and we received lots of practical wisdom and insight based on the experience of the Reveal team with churches around the world. As a result of taking the Reveal survey we have had some great conversations with our leaders and church members and have developed new plans and tools to equip people for spiritual transformation and we are already seeing some fantastic results. We would highly recommend the Reveal survey to other churches who are serious about spiritual transformation and who want to be far more effective at it.” Chris Porter, Senior Minister, Easthampstead Baptist Church

“Almost half our members conducted the survey. It proved to be a  helpful tool for reaching their views and experience, anonymously but honestly. We discovered their self-perception of their Christian life and ministry. What we found has helped us shape our annual vision targets and focus our ministries and teaching programme. We have been enabled to support and encourage them effectively and help us as a church to grow”. Paul Perkin, St Marks Battersea Rise

“Reveal was helpful, and somewhat scary, in giving us a snapshot of how well we were doing in helping people move closer to Christ.  It has helped to shape our preaching programme, how we run small groups, and our encouragement for people to engage more deeply with the Bible.  I would recommend it to any church.” Simon Benham, Kerith Community Church, Bracknell

‘Take a deep breath and get ready to face the reality of the church which you lead! REVEAL will be an encouragement, a call to action, and sometimes a rebuke. It has changed the way we teach, plan our services and relate to our wider community. It’s one of the best tools to tell you where you are, and where you need to go.’ Revd Jay Colwill, Christ Church Orpington
