The Judicatory Vitality Assessment (JVA) is an research-grounded, subscription-based online diagnostic tool available through The FaithX Project.
The JVA is designed to help the leadership of dioceses, presbyteries, synods, and other judicatories:
- Diagnose the judicatory’s vitality (capacity to thrive) and sustainability (capacity to survive).
- Identify the judicatory’s internal/organizational strengths and weaknesses.
- Identify strengths and weaknesses in how the judicatory relates to its congregations.
- Develop and prioritize strategies to address the above issues.
Fee: The $2,495 cost for JVA includes setup and user orientation, one survey, and 1 year of access to analytics and results. This can be renewed at any time to receive another year’s worth of access.
Start on a Monday: For a number of reasons, we recommend the JVA be started on a Monday. You can register at any time, but we recommend waiting until a Monday to start a survey. We have found that starting on a weekend slows completion and reduces the number of survey respondents completing the survey.
