Multiplication Assessment Guide

The Multiplication Assessment Guide is a resource specifically developed to assist church leaders in evaluating the advancement of a newly established church and to provide crucial feedback to the CCM for gauging the effectiveness of CCM programs and identifying areas for further research. Church planters and their teams are encouraged to carefully consider the following questions, as the answers will serve as the foundation for assessing the overall effectiveness of the church plant.

1. How specifically will CCM funds be utilized in this church? Please be detailed.*

(Pastor salary, building expenses, meals, etc.)

2. Do you currently use funds in this area of the church? If yes, how much money do you currently use in this area? How will increasing the budget change outcomes?*

3. Why will the use of CCM funds/coaching help to grow your church towards health and deeper discipleship?*

4. Which area of the 10 marks of a healthy church (copy link below into browser) do you want to see growth this year?*

https://asburychurchplanting.com/10-marks-of-a-healthy-church/

5. How will you empirically measure whether using CCM funds/coaching had a positive impact on this church?*

(Ex; We have 5 small groups that have 10 people attending each in our church. We plan to use CCM funds/coaching to grow our discipling community by paying for meals, and small group gathering materials (Bibles, journals, etc.), and exploring creative small group approaches with our coach. We will measure whether CCM funds/coaching had a positive impact by measuring the number of small groups we have and how many people are engaged in those small groups over the course of 1 year. We will know CCM funds/coaching have had a positive impact on our church if our 5 small groups have grown numerically in attendance/engagement by the end of the year.)

Please provide us a baseline so we may track the church progress over the year*

(Ex; Currently you have 30 people in 3 home groups. Enter 30 as your baseline number) - Choose a goal that you want to measure.

Budget Notes: The projected income and expenses sections should be filled out based on realistic estimates for the first year of the church plant. The current income and expenses sections should be filled out with actual income and expenses on a monthly or quarterly basis. The budget should be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure that it is still accurate and meets the needs of the church plant. Additional Tips for Creating a Church Plant Budget: Be realistic about your income projections. It is better to underestimate your income and overestimate your expenses than vice versa. Prioritize your expenses. What are the most important ministries for your church plant to focus on in the first year? Allocate your resources accordingly. Leave some room for flexibility in your budget. Things don't always go according to plan, so it's important to have some wiggle room in your budget to cover unexpected expenses. Get feedback from your leadership team and other key stakeholders. This will help you to create a budget that is realistic and supported by the church plant community.
