2025 State of the Church Assessment Survey
The Looking to the Future Team needs your help. As we seek out the direction of the Holy Spirit, and prayerfully chart a path forward, we know we need to listen to your feedback on how you think we're doing as a church. We are partnering with Barna Research Group to study trends, practices, and dynamics in the church through an all-church assessment. Starting May 5, the assessment will be available online or in paper form for everyone to complete. We need your feedback!
