Barna has been a leading name in data and research in the Christian community for decades. Barna helps Christian leaders understand the times and know what to do. And now, many of Barna's and other partner's powerful assessments have been brought into the platform so that you can easily measure dozens of indicators of your church's health, maturity, and effectiveness.
In the Assessments Library under the Insights tab of your account, you can view and use all of the tools made available through Barna and other partners. All of these Assessments can be easily sent out to your congregation via text, and with just a few clicks you can gain valuable insight into your church!
How to use an Assessment
Scroll through the list of available Assessments. You can click on each one to read more about what it measures and how it can be most useful to you.
The right hand side will show you how many questions the Assessment consists of and an estimate of how long it might take a participant to answer all of the questions. You can also click Preview Assessment to see what it will look like to a participant when sent out, or click Preview Results to get an idea of what the custom results page will look like once people have completed the Assessment.
Once you've found an Assessment you want to use, click Send Assessment.
This will lead you to Configure your assessment.
Type out a message to let people know what the Assessment is and ask them to click the link and fill it out.
Click Create to receive the unique link to your assessment.
You can use this link to attach in a Broadcast or Email.
To access your link again, head to Deployments and select your assessment.
Within your assessment, click Share
Note: If you click the Custom Survey button at the top right corner of the screen, you'll be taken out of the Assessments tool and moved into the Surveys tool in Gloo's messaging features. You can use this tool to create fully custom surveys, but the viewing and reporting will be more basic than the premade Barna Assessments.
Viewing your deployed Assessments and Results
Any Assessment you've already created can be found by going to Insights -> Deployments.
Here you'll find a full list of the Assessments you've created in the past. You can view how many people have started the Assessment and how many have completed it. Note that until 5 people complete it, no results will be available.
