Christians pursuing spirituality have used different instruments to measure it. However, different results may be obtained depending on the instrument used. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to combine the strengths of existing instruments to develop and initially validate a Christian Spirituality Scale, following the psychological understanding of conduct. Tested among 211 participants, the final scale contains 34 items that are initially valid and reliable, with a Cronbach’s of .925 for the whole scale, .924 for the Walking with God dimension (behavioral), and. 875 for the Belief in God’s Truths dimension (cognitive). The process consisted in content and face validity, construct validity through factor analysis, and reliability through Cronbach’s coefficient. The scale is valid, reliable, and useful for Christian individuals, churches, and organizations seeking to monitor a biblically-based understanding of spirituality that includes both beliefs and actions.
