"Just 9 percent of pastors said their church thoroughly evaluates its efforts - and a majority of leaders admit that evaluation never occurs or is ineffective when it does. One of the unfortunate outcomes is that many pastors lose objectivity about their ministries. . . What tools and methods do you use to evaluate yourself, your ministry and your church as candidly and accurately as possible? What's keeping you from evaluating your church in the ways and to the extent you should? Yes, its an investment of time, money, energy and emotions. But God's people - and your ministry - deserve nothing less than your best efforts."

About Interactive Church Resources

Interactive Church Resources (ICR) was founded in 2006. Our passion is to empower churches and ministries with the amazing communication and data gathering tool of audience response system (ARS) technology.

To do that effectively we are committed to making it so easy and so affordable that every barrier of the old ARS mystique of complexity and costliness be swept away. Our goal is to envision ministries with the tremendous potentiality of ARS as a means to facilitate more effective communication, surveys, strategic planning and decision making etc.

Although headquarted in the Midwest, we have rented and sold systems all over the US including the entire East Coast and New England, the Gulf States, the Central Plains, Colorado and the West Coast. We have also facilitated numerous conferences with 2000 plus in attendance.
