The Congregational Vitality Assessment is a ground-breaking, research-based online diagnostic tool designed to provide a congregation with an assessment of its Vitality (how healthy it is) and its Sustainability (whether it has the people, financial, and contextual resources necessary to survive).

The CVA is available in two versions:

• CVA Single Congregation Version, which can be completed by a single congregational leader or a selected congregational leadership group.
• CVA Judicatory Platform, a customized dashboard through which a judicatory can directly administer the CVA to each of its congregations, receive anonymized results, include supplemental, non-scored questions, and monitor congregational vitality and sustainability over time.

Since the Congregational Vitality Assessment is based on self-reporting, its diagnosis will only be as accurate as the answers you provide, so you can help your congregation get the most helpful results by answering as honestly and objectively as possible. Click on our CVA FAQs tab for questions about the CVA and how to use it effectively.

The CVA Single Congregation Version is available for $35 to congregations of all denominations and religions.

The CVA Judicatory Platform is available on an annually auto-renewing subscription basis.

FaithX is grateful to the Episcopal Church Foundation for its assistance in bringing the original Congregational Vitality Assessment online.
