At the conclusion of the four-day event, the assessment team gives each candidate one of the following recommendations:

​

​

Recommended as Lead Pastor

We believe that God has called and equipped you to start a new church as the lead pastor of a team.

​

Recommended as a Team Member

We believe that God has called and equipped you to be a team member in a new church.

​

Provisional Recommendation

We believe that God has called and equipped you to start a new church as lead pastor or team member, but we don’t believe you are ready. The staff will specify how you can be ready in six to 24 months.

​

Not Recommended

We don’t believe that you are wired up to start a new church. You likely would be frustrated, and the church would struggle.
