The ELI Initial Screening Assessment was created by the Emerging Leadership Initiative in 2005. In the last 5 years, over 5,000 potential church planters have completed the assessment. We’ve decided it’s time to upgrade our tools to make them even better!

In December, we began a validation study to help us update our Initial Screening Assessment and our data on church planter effectiveness.  We are currently compiling all the data from testing and surveys and are interviewing church planters about their experience. We hope to have the study completed by April 2011.
