Cross-Cultural Church Planter Profile
Self-Assessment Tool
Steve Hoke
Instructions: This profile is designed to assess your own readiness and suitability to serve as a cross-cultural church planter. It is divided into three sections: character qualities, ministry skills, and knowledge goals. Each row lists subcompetencies or qualities for each category, listed in the left column. Entry-level qualities begin in column 1 on the left, progressing toward more advanced ones in the numbered columns to the right. Score one point for each box which describes an area in which you now feel competent. Leave it blank if it is still an area for substantial growth. Tally your scores for each row in the total column on the far right. Sum your row totals on the line at the bottom right. This is an arbitrary number which indicates areas of present strength as well as areas for personal growth.
Once you’ve completed the profile, take a few minutes to look back over each category to see what that tells you about your level of spiritual experience, maturity, and ministry skill. Consider the following questions:
1. What are the several areas in which I am strong? Is there a pattern that links my church experience with my area of ministry skill? What areas of strength can I continue to build on?
2. What are the areas in which I am weak? Which ones do I want to work on first? How can I begin to make progress on them now?
Now you're ready. Go to the Cross-Cultural Church Planter Profile.
