Ministry Evaluation

​
Church Ministry Questionnaire
​
Periodically it is beneficial to take a step back and look at how we are doing as a church and obtain feedback from the congregation on how we might improve the ministry of the church. Even when we are overall satisfied with the health and direction of the church there are still areas that we can improve. The purpose of this questionnaire is to provide you an opportunity go give us feedback both in what we are doing well and what areas we can improve upon. Please place a number beside each statement that reflects your assessment of the issue:
1 = Excellent (We are doing exceptional in this area)
2 = Adequate (We are average, nothing exceptional, but no real concerns)
3 = Needs Attention (We have some concern in this area)
4 = Needs Immediate Attention (We are greatly concerned about this area)
