The principles from this important research conducted by LifeWay Research are still relevant, and we encourage you to invest in the 8 elements of a transformational church by reading Transformational Church.
For a helpful, validated congregational assessment LifeWay Research encourages you to consider the online Discipleship Pathway Assessment. While some TCAT topics such as leadership are not directly addressed, it does cover worship, missional, and prayer elements quite well as well as a holistic view of discipleship. New research was recently used to update this tool, and it provides individuals and churches validated measurement of how they are doing spiritually on 8 signposts of discipleship.
