FORTH: Stewardship Self-Assessment

Welcome, we are glad you found us.

This is the introductory page for the Forward Through the Ages (FORTH) Congregational Stewardship Self-Assessment. Completion of this assessment will provide three outcomes:

• A better understanding of your congregation's culture of stewardship
• Entrance to the FORTH community
• Determination of a FORTH path that is best for your congregation

You are welcome to take the self-assessment for your own learning. Unfortunately, our software will not allow us to give individual scores/responses at this time. Additionally, our software is not able to save work for individuals to revisit at a later time, so if you enter any information into the assessment your work will be saved as a completed assessment. For your convenience, we have created a preview of the assessment (PDF, 4 pages) for individuals to review questions so they know what to expect.

When five or more of your congregational leaders (lay leaders and/or professional religious leaders) complete the assessment, we will respond with a group result. Your congregation will have completed the first criteria for becoming a FORTH Partner. Once the FORTH covenant has been completed, your congregation will become a FORTH Partner.
