Evaluate your survey results

2866

When you receive your survey results, reflect on them with your leadership team. Clearly identify and consider the feedback your church attenders gave in the survey.

Each participating church will receive a Church Life Profile showing their unique survey results, to help churches reflect on and review their ministry and mission. By considering the feedback of their church attenders, leaders can get a sense of their discernments and experiences. They can identify and steward their people's gifts and skills. Through a process of engagement, it helps a church to make informed choices, take action and move into the future together.
