      SWOT –<\/strong> A SWOT study of a church looks at its operating environment. Its advantages and disadvantages characterize the internal environment. Opportunities and threats define the external environment.<\/p>\n

      CCA-Scan –<\/strong> An effective \u201cchurch and leadership summit\u201d should include current data to work with. Adding CCA-Scan<\/i><\/b> to your summit would include real-time assessment results, analysis, one-on-one interviewing, and training. The attached document is a sample of how inclusive and comprehensive our CCA-Scan<\/i><\/b> can be when added to your \u201cchurch and leadership summit\u201d. It is modifiable to meet your specific ministry needs. As each church has its unique ministry needs, we can adjust both the length of time of the summit as well as the content within the assessment questions.<\/p>\n
