This is an anonymous survey that we’re inviting everyone in our Church to complete, to help us understand ourselves as a Church and shape our prayers and our planning for the year ahead. It can be completed on this website (see link below) or on paper - to suit you.

The survey will help us answer three questions:

· What should our focus be?

Your answers will help us decide about what we could be doing more of or less of as a church.

· How do we like to express our faith and grow our faith in this church? 

Your answers will help us spot our strengths and how we could grow in our faith journey together.

· What groups of people do we have in our church? 

The survey will also ask you for some demographic information, such as your age group and ethnicity. We ask these questions so that we can check how far the makeup of our church mirrors the makeup of the local community. This will help us see which groups we're reaching already and where there are opportunities.

What we find out will help us understand where we’re doing well and to help us discern areas where we might need to do something new or different.

The more people who complete the survey, the more accurate the information will be, so please complete it if you can.

Thank you!
