VIRTUES--Galatians 5:22-23
* Required
VIRTUES ASESMENT
The following virtues are taken from Galatians 5:22-23. The purpose of this assessment tool is to quantify spiritual growth and while that is extremely difficult is still important to try and do. This assessment will be filled out by at least 3 people: the student them-self, a peer of their choosing, and their parents. Once the data has been collected by from all 3 parties the student and their small group leader will sit down and go over the responses and create a plan to grow in weak areas and continue to excel in strengths.
