      What is Growthfinder and how do I set it up?

      A discipleship assessment in which people rate themselves on the marks of a disciple. 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. 

      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.
