How it Works

The Vital Impact Assessment allows you to:

  1. Evaluate 7 domains of life (demographics, spiritual formation, service to others, personal health, quality of relationships, core beliefs, and church perceptions).
  2. Identify areas of strength, potential growth, highest correlations, and detailed comparisons of groups.
  3. Add up to 4 open-ended questions to the survey.
  4. Include a trauma-scale that assesses adverse childhood experiences.
  5. Receive an interactive dashboard of the data in addition to the executive summary and full report.
  6. Add Community mapping to better understand your local and regional context.
  7. Schedule a video conference call to go over your results.
  8. Receive time series analysis and year-to-year comparisons beginning in year two.
