LEADER COMMUNICATION

Lost the link to your church’s Missional GAP Assessment? Click here to find it.

Please ask your leaders to complete the assessment within 10-14 days of sending your email. Without a deadline, it won’t get done. Trust us!

Communicate this deadline in an email inviting the leaders to complete the assessment. Remember to include the link you your church’s assessment. You will need to send two-three reminders. We know, it seems annoying, but trust us…it will help you in the long run!
- Send Initial Invite
- Send Reminder 1: Send one week later. Content of email: A week ago, I sent you an invite…If you haven’t already completed it the deadline is ____. Include the link.
- Send a Final reminder: One day before deadline. Content of email: Just a reminder, the deadline is tomorrow. Include the link.

Send an email to gap@transformingmission.org with the name of your church, the number of leaders asked to complete the assessment (if known), and the deadline.

You will receive your leader reports 10-14 days following the leader deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the GAP assessment for my local church?

You can find a list here by zip code of the local church. Yes, it might have been easier for us to have you view an alphabetical list. But, you also might select the wrong church (smile!). Follow the instructions on the search page. Be sure verify the link by noting that the name of your church appears at top of the Missional GAP Assessment page. If you have additional questions, please contact us at gap@transformingmission.org

How do we get our church reports?

You’ll get two sets of reports.

When you set the deadline for the leaders to complete the Missional GAP Assessment, the pastor or administrator should send an email to gap@transfomringmission.org. We will provide you with a report 10-14 days after your deadline. Please allow additional time during holidays and weekends.

When you set the deadline for the congregation to complete the Missional GAP Assessment, the pastor or administrator should send an email to gap@transfomringmission.org. We will provide you with a report 10-14 days after your deadline. Please allow additional time during holidays and weekends.

I thought this list was the FAQ for congregations. Where can I get it?

Navigate to the “Communications Template & Images” tab on this page. You can also download it here.

Not everyone in my congregation has internet access. Can I get paper copies?

Yes, you can. Please contact us to discuss the best option for you and your congregation. If you decide to submit paper assessments, an initiation fee of $25 is payable to the CAS District. This fee must be received before the assessment is sent to you. If more than 7 paper assessments are submitted, payment of $4/assessment is due at the time the paper assessments are received at the CAS Office. The paper assessments must be returned to the District Office one week prior to your deadline. We are happy to work with you so you do not incur these charges. Please contact us to discuss this option.
