The Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) is a workplace personality assessment. It provides insights into individual motivations, behaviors, and relationship dynamics, aiming to enhance self-awareness and interpersonal effectiveness. 

​

Our office provides this inventory and training in various formats:

• Individual consultation

• Couple review

• Team Building events

  • 1 hour summary or

  • 3 hour training or

  • 6 hour conference or seminar

  • 2 day retreat

The SDI assessment offers four interrelated perspectives:

• Motivational Value System (MVS): Identifies an individual's core drivers—People, Performance, and Process—highlighting what motivates them during favorable conditions. 

• Conflict Sequence: Illustrates how an individual's motives shift under stress or conflict, providing insights into their conflict management style. 

• Strengths Portrait: Ranks the behaviors an individual is most likely to employ in the workplace, showcasing natural approaches to tasks and interactions. 

• Overdone Strengths Portrait: Identifies behaviors that may become counterproductive when overused, helping individuals recognize potential blind spots. 

By understanding these aspects, individuals can improve communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution within teams and relationships.

We want to make sure that the women in our churches who faithfully serve are encouraged, trained, and helped to become all they should be for the Lord. Julie Biesiadecki facilitates activities, events and cohorts for this group. Contact her for more information.

Our network has made great investments in church planting for over 25 years. We have 1.2 million people in our area and there are 300 evangelical churches for those people. We need to plant more churches so more people can respond to the Gospel. We partner with our network churches, and the churches of the GBMB and NAMB through SENT Network. Contact our office for more information.

​

Corpus Vitae is a ministry dedicated to assisting church leaders in revitalizing their congregations and networks to achieve greater community impact through the gospel. They offer a structured approach encompassing assessments, training processes, implementation support, and ongoing coaching.

​

Corpus is in partnership with the GBMB to encourage and assist churches with this process. Our office is certified in the coaching, assessments, and the processes to help churches to accomplish the Great Commission.

​

Key Components of Corpus's Approach:

1. Assessments:

   • Pastoral Readiness Assessment (PRA): Evaluates a pastor's competencies in roles such as Elder, Overseer, and Shepherd to determine readiness for leading revitalization efforts.

   • Vision Receptivity Assessment (VRA): Assesses the existing church culture to predict how receptive it would be to revitalization initiatives.

   • Church Health Survey: Provides insights into the overall health of a congregation based on components from Acts 2:42-47.

2. Processes:

   • ReFocus: A six-step process guiding pastors and church leaders through discovery, convergence, mission development, strategic planning, leadership development, and implementation.

   • ReNew: Tailored for transitional pastors, this four-step process focuses on reassessing, repositioning, redirecting, and resourcing the church during leadership transitions.

Founded by Dr. Rob Peters in 2017, Corpus Vitae emphasizes a biblically-based, practitioner-driven approach to church revitalization. Their mission is to equip church leaders with the necessary skills to reignite their church's mission and enhance congregational health.
