The process began by soliciting self-nominations from interested organizations that had more than 15 employees and a Christian mission. A high percentage of employees in these organizations were asked to fill out an online survey composed of 66 questions that covered their company's people practices; organizational leaders separately provided detailed profiles of their human resource practices.

An independent panel of judges weighed together the averages from the employee scores, the participation rates of every organization's employees in the survey, and information from the management profiles in order to select this year's list of The Best Christian Places to Work. The judges were not told the organizations' identities in order to ensure an unbiased result.
