These subsystems are explained more fully in the authorâs book Kicking Habits (Abingdon, c1997). Â Specific assessment tools include a master summary worksheet, a council worksheet, a staff worksheet, a worship service survey, a random congregational survey, a form for demographic research of the churchâs field, a form for demographic research of the church membership, a leadership readiness test, and a church stress test. Â Using the forms included in the book or on the CD-ROM a congregation scores itself. Â See www.easumbandy.com for associates who do consulting using this tool.
