What are the Objectives and Philosophy of Mission-Effectiveness Evaluation?
Did you know that it has already been more than ten years since the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists has commissioned the Office of Archives, Statistics, and Research (ASTR) to conduct and coordinate research in different areas of church life and ministry? Church leadership recognizes the need for professional research into the operations of organizations and programs, to determine the effectiveness of initiatives established to fulfill specific purposes within the overall mission of the Church. How do you feel about the evaluation and assessment of church programs? Do you agree that church programs and initiatives should be evaluated? Do you know if your church program is effective? Do you conduct regular assessments to know where you could improve?
