The Tool & The Guide
One simple PDF. A clear, honest picture of your church.
The diagnostic is a printable, team-ready workbook. Score each area together, then use the free Interpretation Guide to make sense of your results and turn them into a focused action plan.
What You'll Discover
Clarity in four dimensions
The diagnostic turns a fuzzy sense of “how are we doing?” into a clear, shared picture your whole leadership team can act on.
Blind Spots
Surface the gaps you can't see from inside — where the disciple-making system quietly leaks.
Action Priorities
Know exactly what to work on first, so effort goes where it will bear the most fruit.
Balanced Scorecard
A single, balanced view across all four SAFE dimensions — no more guessing where you stand.
Measured Against SAFE
The four commitments your results are built on
Every question in the diagnostic maps to one of the four SAFE dimensions, so your scorecard reflects a truly biblical picture of health.
Scripture-Anchored
Is your disciple-making measured against the Word of God, not cultural trends?
Apprenticeship-Driven
Are disciples formed life-on-life through relationship and imitation?
Fruit-Measured
Do you measure transformed lives and multiplication — not just attendance?
Everyday-Reproducible
Can ordinary believers reproduce it in ordinary life, again and again?

FAQ
Questions pastors ask
Everything you need to know before you begin the diagnostic.
Yes. The Church Health Diagnostic workbook and the Interpretation Guide are completely free. Our goal is to help the local church see clearly — cost should never be the barrier.
Most teams complete it in about 30 minutes. We recommend doing it together as a leadership team so the conversation is as valuable as the score.
Not at all. The SAFE framework is designed to be everyday-reproducible, so the diagnostic works for churches and plants of every size and context.
You'll have a balanced scorecard and a short list of action priorities. From there you can implement on your own, join the Disciple-Makers Summit, or partner with us to build your system.
