Step 1 of 10 10% Thank you for your interest in Young Entrepreneurs on Mission (YEoM). This assessment is designed to help your church identify strengths, opportunities, and next steps as you explore becoming a YEoM Church Hub. The purpose of this assessment is not to determine whether your church qualifies for YEoM. Rather, it is intended to help your church discern its current level of readiness and identify areas that may benefit from further development before launching a YEoM initiative. Every church is on a journey. Some are exploring the possibilities of investing more intentionally in young adults. Others may be preparing to launch. Still others may already possess many of the characteristics of a thriving YEoM Church Hub. Upon completion of the assessment, a YEoM representative will schedule a follow-up conversation to discuss your results, answer questions, and help identify next steps.
