What is an Assessment?
An assessment is the process of collecting responses to a set of questions, and analyzing those responses to better understand where participants are in their current journeys. The information gathered can then be applied to the way Champions do outreach, engage their people, improve programs, or make plans for the future.
Why Use Assessments
Assessments on Gloo are designed to remove obstacles for Champions so they can connect with their people, and lead them toward greater personal growth. Let’s break it down.
Ask the right questions.
Assessments on the Gloo platform come from trusted providers, and have been developed through years of research. They incorporate questions that surface the key spiritual insights needed to measure progress, open valuable lines of communication, and empower leaders to guide enduring journeys to spiritual growth.
Gain wisdom.
When you ask questions that provide a clear evaluation of your church and congregants, you’re able to identify opportunities to connect and engage your people—so they don’t slip through the cracks.
Deploy anytime, anywhere.
Assessments are ready to use, and can be launched via text, email, or through a unique link, so you get maximum participation—and some can even be taken in a matter of minutes.
Launch assessments as often as you want.
Assessments on Gloo aren’t one-time use. Launch as often as you want to keep a finger on the spiritual pulse of your church. Many pastors call this a spiritual checkup, and just as you wouldn’t neglect your health by letting yourself go unchecked, leaving your church without regular checkups can have far-reaching consequences.
Get real-time results.
Real-time reporting means when you ask today, you know today. The dashboard tracks results in real time, so you know how many people have started and completed the assessment, and view results on dynamic graphs.
Guide next steps.
Understanding your people allows you to provide valuable next steps to keep participants growing, engaged, and feeling that their individuals needs matter.
