7 Board members and staff sign a statement
of faith before joining the organization.

of your mission, not just inputs.

11 Prayer is fully integrated in decision-making,
in your meeting structure, and as a weekly or
daily discipline for staff.

12 You have hiring practices that go beyond technical abilities and assess a candidate’s full mission fit.

13 Prospective board members are interviewed by
multiple board members and formally assessed for
their personal faith and full missional alignment.

14 Compared to a year ago, staff and board members are
showing increasing fruit in their lives (e.g. humility,
patience, kindness, etc., in Galatians 5:22-23) as
evidence of the Holy Spirit at work in them.

15 There is a clearly articulated plan to create a culture that
reinforces your identity, and you have daily or weekly rituals
that reinforce your organization’s values and mission.

16 Church partnerships are a constant source of
consideration for your organization.

17 You have a succession plan in place that is actively
cultivating internal candidates for leadership, and
there are known, potential future Mission True leaders.

18 A large percentage of your staff would leave the
organization if you experienced Mission Drift.

19 You have said no to a “good opportunity” in the last
two years because it did not fit with your identity and
full mission.

20 If your leader has suddenly left, you would not be
concerned about the mission continuing.

You’re all done!
