Who is The Studio for?
The Studio from CCCC is designed for Christian ministries of all types, including churches and non-profits, looking to strengthen their organizational foundations.
The Studio from CCCC is included with a CCCC membership
Each year, you’ll have the opportunity to complete the Self-Assessment and receive your ministry’s Report. I’m not sure about this section, I believe there is still a fee for the assessment even with a CCCC membership.
It is especially useful for:
Church Leaders & Non-Profit Executives
Pastors, executive directors, and senior leaders who set the vision and strategy for their ministries, ensuring alignment with long-term goals.
Management Teams
Staff involved in leadership, operations, and decision-making who can offer valuable insights into areas like governance, financial management, and programs.
Board Members
Those with oversight responsibilities, helping evaluate the overall health and effectiveness of the organization.
Small Churches & Growing
Non-Profits
Ministries in early growth stages seeking to establish a solid organizational foundation for future development and impact.
The Studio is designed to serve churches and non-profits at all stages of growth, offering the tools to assess and improve organizational health comprehensively. While senior leadership typically owns the process, the platform encourages collaboration, allowing key staff and board members to contribute their perspectives for a well-rounded view. The primary contact at your ministry can invite team members to participate, ensuring alignment in shaping the organization’s development goals.
How The Studio Works
The Studio is a structured and insightful tool designed to help ministries assess and enhance their organizational health. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how it works:
Complete the Self-Assessment
Assess key areas like governance, leadership, financial management, and mission alignment to gain a clear picture of your ministry’s current state.
The self-assessment is intuitive, allowing your team to rate your organization’s performance across various indicators.

The tool will highlight areas where your ministry is thriving, as well as areas that may need attention.
Blind spots, or unseen gaps, are uncovered to ensure your ministry can maximize its potential.

The report offers actionable insights and data to help guide your ministry’s growth and improvement.

Based on your report, The Studio provides targeted resources and knowledge to support your organization’s development goals.
These resources will help you address any weaknesses and leverage your strengths for greater impact.

The action plan serves as a roadmap to implement changes that drive your ministry’s transformation and growth.

The Project
The Studio is our 360-degree assessment tool that helps ministries evaluate their organizational health, identify growth areas, and create actionable plans to strengthen their foundations and maximize their impact.
Discover Blind Spots and Maximize Opportunities with The Studio CCCC sees a tremendous God-sized potential in ministries to bless Canada and the world. Together, we have powerful missions, abundant resources, and passionate, skilled people. However, many ministries struggle for avoidable reasons—some even close, especially churches. Others settle for good outcomes when they could achieve great ones. In these challenging times, with worrisome donation trends, ministries must be strategic in what they do, how they do it, and how they fund it.
