Agency Mobilizer Training Survey Fall 2021

Missio Nexus and the Center for Missionary Mobilization and Retention at Trinity Bible College & Graduate School are partnering to better understand the current state of training for mission mobilizers.

The goal of this survey is to provide a reality map of how those engaged in the North American mobilization arena are doing to set up their mobilizers for success. Specifically, who are today’s mobilizers and what training curriculum do agencies currently have in place to equip them? Data gleaned from this survey will help collaboratively build a much-needed set of best practices and resources to offer the broader North American mobilization community in our training of fruitful mobilizers.  Your participation is vital to help us reach this goal.

You are eligible to participate in this survey if you are leading a mobilization/recruiting team. This may be represented by different titles such as Mobilization Director, Onboard Director, Onboard Specialist, Church Partnership Director, or Mission Agency CEO, etc.

Confidentiality Statement:
Your identity will be kept confidential. The results of the survey however, will be collected, analyzed, and shared publicly. Your agency’s information will not be used for marketing or promotional purposes. You will not be added to any mailing list.
