Annual research on the operational health of churches. As thousands of churches complete the assessment, the Index becomes the clearest picture of how churches really run — and how they can run better.
Every participating church is measured across the same six areas — the foundation of the Church Operations Maturity Model™.
The Index is built from the same 20-question Operations Assessment that any church can take for free. Responses are scored across the six dimensions and placed on a 1–5 maturity scale.
Your data stays yours. Participating in the assessment contributes only anonymized, aggregated signals to the Index — never your church's identifiable information. See our Privacy Policy.
Our first annual report is being built from the 2026 pilot cohort. Each stream will be a free, downloadable report.
The flagship annual snapshot of operational health across participating churches.
How churches are recruiting, onboarding, and sustaining volunteers.
How well churches welcome and retain first-time guests.
How churches manage the growing demands of communication.
Whether operations are resilient enough to survive transitions.
How thoughtfully churches are adopting new tools, including AI.
Take the free assessment to both contribute to the research and be notified the moment the first report is published. You'll get your own church's score immediately.
