Disciple Maker Index

Good Shepherd is on a journey to know, love, and serve Christ in our parish community. Together we must embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship so our parish can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith.

The very first step in this process involves assessing our greatest strengths and opportunities, and that is where the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) comes in! The DMI is an important survey tool that invites you to reflect on your discipleship journey here at Good Shepherd. The Disciple Maker Index is designed to:

· Invite parishioners to reflect on their journey of discipleship.

· Enable parish leadership to make data-driven decisions. 

· Help parishioners grow in their faith.

The Disciple Maker Index will give us valuable insights into how we can help our parishioners flourish as Christian disciples. This, in turn, can assist you in finding the joy of being a Catholic-Christian which may help others to discover their faith in God, too.

The 10–15-minute survey can be accessed through an online link from October 19, 2024 through November 24, 2024 and will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and enable you to provide your perspective on our parish’s efforts to help you grow in relationship with Christ. All responses will be confidential, and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole and will not see individual responses. 

A link to the DMI survey will be sent to all registered households of the parish on October 19, 2024.   Paper surveys will also be available for those who do not have the ability to complete the survey online.  Please contact the parish office after October 21, 2024, to obtain your copy and instructions.  

Thank you in advance for participating in the Disciple Maker index.   We look forward to the ways this will grace and grow our parish and every member’s faith.
