This project studies the effectiveness of the behavioral assessment interview process used by NAMB for selecting church planters. This process is based on the manual written by Charles Ridley, entitled How to select church planters: a self-study manual for recruiting, screening, interviewing and evaluating qualified church planters. Research in this project focused primarily on : (1) a careful review of the written assessment reports of more than 260 candidates; (2) administration of a written survey that was completed by the candidates which focused on the progress of their church plants; (3) a follow-up telephone survey and (4) a comparison of the results of the assessed candidates with a control group of forty planters who were not assessed but attempted to plant anyway. The research showed that NAMB's assessment process was an accurate predictor of church planting behaviors, as measured by thee outcomes: average worship attendance, average baptisms from conversions, and progress made toward constitution.
