The Spiritual Growth Assessment Process can help you complete an examination and careful search of your spiritual growth. Follow these simple steps to complete the process.
1. Complete the Spiritual Growth Assessment. The assessment helps you think carefully about your spiritual development related to six specific spiritual disciplines; abiding in Christ, living in the Word, praying in faith, fellowshipping with believers, witnessing to the world, and ministering to others. Before completing your responses, ask the Lord to guide your evaluation. Since most of these statements require a subjective response, His guidance is the key to an accurate appraisal. Also, resist the urge to compare scores with others. Self-condemnation or pride could result from such comparisons. Trust God to help you grow spiritually by revealing heart issues and empowering you to take action.
2. Draw and evaluate your Discipleship Wheel.
3. Distribute copies of the Spiritual Growth Observations Response Sheet to at least three people. Follow the instructions before completing a personal growth plan.
4. Begin working on a personal growth plan. The Annual Spiritual Growth Plan worksheet helps you formulate an intentional plan for growth. Use the Recommended Actions from the Spiritual Growth Guide to discover suggestions for actions to include in your plan. As you discuss your plan with an accountability partner, you may discover additional actions that more effectively meet your needs.
