Legacy Assessment

Examine your congregation’s mission, assets, and future options — and create a thoughtful plan for long-term stewardship and impact.

The Sacred Spaces Legacy Assessment is a guided and reflective tool that helps your church clarify its longterm purpose, prepare for future transitions, and create a lasting impact for generations to come. We help you identify the assets, opportunities, andobstacles that will shape your church’s next chapter so your congregation can steward its legacy with clarity, confidence, and intentionality. In just a few sessions, we evaluate the essential areas that influence a church’s long-term health and mission fulfillment, providing a clear path to ensure your sacred space continues to serve God’s purpose well into the future.
