The Jesus Index
a global measure of Jesus-following
Do you know where your young people are with Jesus?
Most of us count who turns up. The Jesus Index shows what's underneath: who believes, who's growing, and who's helping someone else follow Jesus. Your young people answer anonymously, on any phone, in about 8 minutes. Free to join and free to run, permanently.
Why use the Jesus Index?
Five ways this serves you:
The J12
12 unique items. One shared measure of Jesus-following.
Do they follow Jesus? Do they participate in His mission? Does their world look different? We ask each question at four depths, from first hearing about Jesus to helping someone else follow Him. Every box in the J12 is measured by two survey questions. Hover a box to see how it's represented in the survey.Tap a box to see how it's represented in the survey.

How to read it
Each box is one core question. Read left to right to see how far faith has gone.
- 1. Exposure — have they encountered Jesus?
- 2. Response — have they responded to Him?
- 3. Formation — are they being formed in Him?
