For churches – we offer four primary services
- Spend Yourself Well: Spend Yourself Well is an interactive study for congregations to help individuals and families identify meaningful and effective ways to serve and give
- Community Flourishing Assessment: City Flourish offers services to help congregations conduct local asset and needs assessments, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. We use the Harvard Institute of Human Flourishing’s individual and community flourishing assessments and can customize and supplement them based on a congregation’s interests.When combined with the Vital Impact Assessment, the Community Flourishing Assessment provides invaluable feedback to influence decision-making.
- Consulting: City Flourish offers consulting services in three main areas: program design and evaluation, strategy and operations, and technical assistance and training. Our founder, Wes Furlong, is certified in StratOp, a strategic planning process aimed at closing the gap between visions and day-to-day action. StratOp includes:
-
- Perspective (where are we now?)
- Planning (where are we headed?)
- Action (what’s important now?)
- Structure (what form best facilitates our plan?)
- Management (how are we doing?)
- Renewal (what must change?)
- Vital Impact Assessment: The Vital Impact Assessment was designed to help churches measure their impact, both within the congregation and within their local community. The Vital Impact Assessment includes two parts:
- Church Survey
- Community Impact Assessment
