Pulse is the foundation of the Healthy Church programme and forms Module 1 of a two-part process. It can also be completed as a standalone assessment for churches that simply want to gain a clear picture of their current health and effectiveness.
Step 1 - The Pulse Survey
A Pulse questionnaire is distributed to church members and attendees via a simple digital link or QR code. All responses remain anonymous and confidential and are analysed collectively.

Step 2 – Analysis and Review
Once responses have been collected, the data is processed through software and a series of analytical tools and review processes. The findings are then independently reviewed by a Healthy Church Consultant to ensure they are clear, accurate, and actionable.
Step 3 – Reporting
The church receives a suite of reports designed to help leaders understand strengths, identify development opportunities, and plan for the future.
These include:
-
In-Depth Report – A detailed analysis of all key findings. (View example)
-
Full Data Report – Complete survey data and response breakdowns. (View example)
-
Executive Summary – A concise overview of key findings, priorities, and recommendations. (View example)
The more people who participate, the more representative and accurate the results will be.
Churches that complete the process may display a Healthy Church Review Badge as a visible commitment to reflection and continual development.
