Sometimes “Jesus. Now what?” is both a prayer and a question.
This 25-question Christian Assessment invites you to pause and consider where you are across five areas: body, mind, spirit, self, and others.
For expanded descriptions of all 25 areas, Jesus. Now What?: Knowing Yourself and Growing in Faith is available online and can serve as a companion to the assessment.
Your results are a snapshot—not a final destination. Return in 3–12 months to take the assessment again and notice what has changed.

Once you click the varification below you will have officially completed the Christian Assessment. Your results will help you see where you are currently experiencing growth and impact across five areas of Christian life and ministry:

On the next screen, you’ll receive a score from 0–36 for each area, along with a description specific to your results. Rather than combining everything into one overall score (though a percentage is provided for those who like that kind of thing), each area is considered separately so you can recognize where you are deeply rooted, where you may already be bearing fruit, and where there is room for continued growth.
Remember, higher scores are not expected in every area. The highest levels of the assessment represent significant, sustained impact and are intentionally difficult to reach. Your results are not a grade or a measure of your worth or faithfulness. They are a snapshot of where you are now and an invitation to consider what might come next.
We’ll also send an email with the subject line “Save Your Results from the Minister’s Helper Assessment.” Look for that message in your inbox and keep the attached score details for your records.
Saving your results gives you something especially valuable: a starting point. When you take the Christian Assessment again in the future, you can compare your results and notice where your practices, experiences, and impact have changed over time.
