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.
