One of the challenges a pastor faces, especially of a large church, is the inability to know and relate with every person who is part of the church. One way to get a bit of pulse on how your leaders or congregation are going, in addition to spontaneous impromptu conversations from time to time, is through the use of a survey.

4. The thing that frustrates me the most about my ministry is …
5. I think the most common problem that people are facing right now is …
6. I wish someone would preach about …..
7. Do you think you have grown as a leader over the last 12 months? If so – how (i.e. through what avenue or activity)?
By having our congregation and leaders complete this survey online, we are able to compile the results much easier.
I find your posts incredibly encouraging and inspiring.
It is very good to read the, “Comments,” section to increase our understanding of our brethren.
