Typical Assessments

Basic psychological assessment for Readiness for Ministry include:

  • In-depth clinical interviews
  • Personal historical Intakes/Background Information Forms,
  • Psychological testing for significant clinical pathology
  • Identification of relative strengths which may be applied to ministry,
  • Personalized Recommendations to the credentialing bodies and the candidates regarding the candidates’ calling to ministry and their personal wholeness   

Ministry Candidates review Agreement forms with the psychologist such as the Informed Consent form & their Authorization to Release Information to their ministry credentialling body.

Typically assessments blocks are several hours over a day or two days of testing. Candidates later participate in a feedback session with the psychologist where they can hear personal feedback about the testing data from the assessment specialist. Assessment almost always occurs via telehealth, and HIPAA compliant teleconferencing.
