Assessment Center
Why GLI?
The GLI Assessment Center offers a comprehensive and robust one-day assessment for prospective pastors and church planters to discern and prepare for the ministry to which God has called them. We provide the expertise to accelerate your readiness to serve well.
Our mission is to equip you with a veteran’s wisdom and proven skills that will ready you for the challenges of pastoring and church planting, both personal and professional. One day is not enough for the pastor who is called to finish well, but it is one day that will equip you from start to finish.
Gateway Leadership Initiative has been partnering and supporting the efforts of church planting churches, networks and denominations for decades. Agencies have been using our Church Planter Profiles© tool to help assess the readiness of their planters and now they are using our Cultivate Platform to train and equip them to successfully plant churches. GLI designed Church Planter Cultivate for the contemporary church planter seeking to reach our global, post-Christian world. After assessing over 17,000 church planters through our Church Planter Profiles©, we discovered the shocking reality that most church planters are not equipped to reach their culture.
What’s involved in the assessment?
Each session challenges you to:
- Ask the right questions.
