Church Development Tool

The Church Development Tool: Simple, effective, encouraging – and free

WHAT IS YOUR CHURCH GREAT at? What support would your congregation like to grow in faith, share their faith and serve their local community? How representative is your congregation of your community’s diversity?

The Church Development Tool could help you find out – and then point you to simple, tried and tested resources that will help you act on what you discover.  

It’s a short survey you ask your worshipping community to complete. You then get a simple report that gives you a clear picture of demographics, discipleship and evangelism in your church.

The process helps you prioritise what to focus on in the years ahead and engages your whole congregation in the process, offering ways to involve children and young people as well as adults.

The Church Development Tool is closed for development during 2025 and will be open again in early 2026. In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding the Church Development Tool, please contact charlotte.sibtain@churchofengland.org.
