Use the default or customize it. The ingredients of discipleship are things like prayer, time in the word, obedience, faith, giving, serving, witnessing, character development, commitment to community and more.  Growthfinder gives you a tool for people to rate themselves in these areas. HOW discipleship is communicated varies from church to church, so we built Growthfinder to be customizable.  It takes a little work to do this, but it does help you keep your messaging consistent.  **[How to send out emails to invite people to take Growthfinder.](https://help.churchteams.com/knowledge/what-is-growthfinder-and-how-do-i-set-it-up#Send)** #### Here are the **4 default categories** that we use to organize the discipleship attributes.  1. Character 2. Knowledge 3. Perspective (Vision) 4. Skills #### By default there are **12 subcategories** (discipleship attributes). These are organized underneath each of the main categories.  Here are a few examples of subcategories for each category. 1. Character - Compassion, Generosity, Integrity, Love, Joy, Patience, Teachable. 2. Knowledge - God, Humanity, Jesus, Salvation, Bible, Holy Spirit, Sin, Eternity. 3. Perspective - Faith, Hope, Grace, Family, God's Will, Authority, Identity, Missions. 4. Skills - Bible Reading, Application, Gospel Presentation, Leadership, Worship. Each of these subcategories has a question related to it and links for further resources.  Often people change the main categories then use a majority of the subcategories and questions as they are. #### **[Click here to take the default Growthfinder assessment](https://churchteams.com/m/Register.asp?a=OE8ybDhsaFVyc1k9)**  Review the assessment and follow up reports to become familiar with the tool.   #### **Enable and customize the assessment.** Groups & Events \> Settings \> Growthfinder. 1.
