Is SALT right for your church or ministry?

The Seven Areas of Life Training (SALT) discipleship series is designed to teach people to be fully devoted followers of Christ who live victoriously in every area of life and teach others to do the same. SALT teaches people God’s plan for them in every area of life and shows them how to practically apply that plan to their everyday lives. But it doesn’t end there…SALT also equips people to share the truths they’ve learned with others.

Rate the confidence level of the people you minister to in their sharing with others God’s plan for the following areas of life:

Spiritual – Having a meaningful relationship with God
Least Confident   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   Fully Confident

Psychological – Having a sound mind
1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10

Social – Having healthy relationships
1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10

Physical – Making wise choices with their body
1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10

Financial – Managing money well
1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10

Marital – Staying happily married
1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10

Parental – Rearing confident, competent, and loving children
1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10

Some people only hear God’s Word, others hear and apply. True growth is seen in those who hear, apply and share it with others. Are you satisfied with the confidence level of the people you minister to in sharing God’s plan with others? If not, SALT can be used to equip your people to not only be disciples, but make disciples.

Life Evaluation Tool

The purpose of the Seven Areas of Life Evaluator is to provide pastors and leaders with a tool to help determine the health of their church in all 7 areas of life – Spiritual, Psychological, Social, Physical, Financial, Marital, and Parental. By surveying a congregation anonymously, an honest appraisal of the health of that congregation gives the pastor and leaders the reliable data they need. By identifying specific weak areas, more emphasis can be applied to those areas of life during the discipleship process.

Doing the evaluation is really a simple process of:

• Collecting the data - simply have your people fill out a short anonymous survey form.
• Entering the data - enter the data into the Calculator spreadsheets.
• Viewing the survey results - the charts are automatically drawn.

The Life Evaluation Tool is free and simple to use. Click here to save the tool to you computer - do not choose "open" because you want to save it to your hard drive.
