FAQ
about the CAT |
|
I have found the CAT to be a transformational instrument in working with congregations. I have been doing deployment work for over ten years. The CAT is the best assessment tool I've seen.

Christians are called to "flow"
into the world, giving life to everything they touch. |
|
Flow®
was developed in a collaborative effort between Holy Cow! Consulting
and the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta. It is in the final stages of
implementation.
|

|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
How do we measure that impact? Church
financials only provide a part of the answer. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Flow provides a way for church leaders to
gauge the investment members are making beyond the church. |
