Disciple Maker Index

Each individual parish in the Emmaus Pastorate is on a journey know, love, and serve Christ in our five communities.  Together we must embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship so our parish can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith.

The very first step in this process involves assessing our greatest strengths and opportunities, and that is where the Disciple Maker Index (DMI)comes in!  The DMI is an important survey tool that invites you to reflect on your discipleship journey here in the Emmaus Pastorate.  The Disciple Maker Index is designed to:

• Invite parishioners to reflect on their journey of discipleship,
• Enable parish leadership to make data-driven decisions, and 
• Help parishioners grow in their faith.

 
The 10–15-minute survey will be available until January 9, will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth, and enable you to provide your perspective on our parish’s efforts to help you grow in relationship with Christ.  All responses will be confidential, and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole.  

To take the survey, click on your parish's name below.  Paper surveys will also be available at the Emmaus Pastorate office in Edgewood and St. Joseph Parish Center in Elkader for those who do not have the ability to complete the survey online.  

Together we must embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship so our parishes can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith.  Thank you for helping with this important project and please continue to pray for this intention and for the growth and protection of our parish.
