OUR CHALLENGE

47%

of cradle Orthodox have left the Church

21%

of Greek Orthodox Christians regularly attend Church

64%

of young people fall away from the Church

99%

of Parishes are dependent on festivals and fundraisers to fund their operations

Is this a “Good Account Before The Awesome Judgment Seat of Christ?”

  • Doctors can assess your personal health. 

  • Financial planners can assess your financial health. 

  • Until now, your Parish lacked similar empirical and validated assessment tools to assess its operational health and effectiveness. 

  • After 20+ years of work with over 500 Orthodox parishes, the Orthodox Ministry Services (OMS) team developed its Effective Parish Assessment (EPA). The EPA is a reliable, easy, and empirical way to assess the health and operational effectiveness of your Parish. 

THE SOLUTION

Empirical  research  identified  6  Operational  Pillars  that must  be  optimized  to  excellence  in  the  most  healthy and  effective  Orthodox  Parish.

Research  identified  30  Operational  Building  Blocks  to support  the  6  Pillars   that  must  also  be  assessed  and strengthened  to  ensure  optimal  health  and effectiveness.

With  the  invaluable  support  of  Leadership  100  and the  GOA  Department  of  Stewardship,  OMS  will deliver  for  free  its  EPA 1,  EPA 2,  and  provide  a Preliminary  Parish  Improvement  Plan,  to  a  cohort  of several  parishes  from  each  GOA  Metropolis.

Green = Good
Yellow = Caution
Red = Critical

Each  Building  Block  area  in  each  Pillar  assessed  will  be  color  coded  based  on  survey  responses:
