You may be wondering what is included in an assessment. Our assessment designs vary for each given situation. Typically, we first learn about your local city and community. Next, we use questionnaires that help us to understand the institutional dynamics of your church or ministry as well as the attitudes of members. Then, we  make an onsite visit and conduct interviews and focus groups as necessary. Finally, a final report is prepared for the leaders of the church. We are available to return to provide an oral presentation as well as to personally answer any questions from this report. 

You may wonder why not design such an assessment yourself. Unfortunately, many pastors do not have the methodological knowledge or skills to plan such a study. A poorly designed research project often reveals little useful information. We bring a wealth of experience and expertise in multiracial ministry. RC provides the best assessment to get an accurate evaluation of the challenges you face in reaching out to diverse racial groups.
