Assessments that bring clarity to leadership and teams
Church Plant Solutions uses practical assessments to help individuals and teams gain insight, strengthen alignment, and move from reflection into wiser leadership, service, and ministry application.
Clarity that supports calling, contribution, and application
Assessments can be more than information. They can help leaders and teams name what God may already be shaping, understand how people are designed to serve, and create stronger pathways for healthy ministry.
Church Plant Solutions uses DesignID as the primary core assessment, often paired with the Spiritual Gifts Assessment, while DesignPD helps move from insight into the practical realities of planning, deciding, acting, collaboration, and leadership application.
How these assessments help
These tools are used to support reflection, team health, leadership development, and practical ministry alignment.
Three key assessments used in this process
These assessments work together to help individuals and teams understand design, spiritual empowerment, and the way that design shows up in real life and ministry.
DesignID
DesignID is the primary assessment used in this process. It is a faith-integrated assessment designed to help people see how God’s design is reflected in the way they create, relate, think, and serve.
It brings language to identity, contribution, and faithful participation through four reflections: Architect, Artisan, Shepherd, and Steward, while also helping people understand how those reflections work together.
Assessment
Spiritual Gifts Assessment
The Spiritual Gifts Assessment is used alongside DesignID to help people prayerfully discern how the Holy Spirit may be empowering them to serve. It is framed as a reflective, Scripture-informed tool intended to support discernment and faithful application.
Results include a person’s top gifts, practical expressions, deeper insight into leading gifts, and biblical guidance for serving the Body of Christ.
DesignPD
DesignPD is a second-level assessment focused on Plan, Decide, and Do. It helps reveal how design moves in real life by showing how people tend to plan, make decisions, and act.
It is especially useful for moving from insight into application, helping individuals and teams better understand patterns in leadership, collaboration, pressure, conflict, and sustainability.
How these assessments can work together
The assessment process can help move people from self-understanding into practical ministry and leadership application.
Discover design
Use DesignID to understand how a person tends to reflect, contribute, and serve, giving language to patterns that may already be present.
Discern gifting
Pair that insight with the Spiritual Gifts Assessment to better understand how the Holy Spirit may be empowering service, growth, and participation in the Body of Christ.
Apply in real life
Use DesignPD to translate insight into leadership, collaboration, conflict, pressure, and sustainable action so people and teams can move forward more intentionally.
Assessment can strengthen launch team and leadership alignment
On the Harvest page, Church Plant Solutions emphasizes the opportunity to build teams that serve from design rather than simply filling roles. These assessments help support that same kind of alignment by bringing greater clarity to contribution, leadership development, and team health.
Role Fit
Help people serve in ways that better reflect how they are designed and gifted.
Leadership Development
Recognize emerging leaders earlier and develop them with greater intentionality.
Team Collaboration
Improve how people understand one another, work together, and contribute to shared purpose.
Ministry Sustainability
Reduce unnecessary strain by helping leaders and teams operate with greater wisdom and alignment over time.
Use assessment insight to strengthen people and teams
Assessments can become powerful tools for reflection, discernment, leadership development, and team alignment. Church Plant Solutions uses these resources to help leaders move from insight into healthier ministry application.
