Survey

A Praise and Worship Survey for the Congregational Members

A survey like the one below can help you find out what your people really think about your congregation’s worship times. This can be helpful to understand the people in your church. Of course, it should be understood that those answering will most likely be the ones who have strong opinions one way or the other.

One practical point: You can ask people to put their name on their response so that you will know who did not respond. The drawback to this approach is that most likely the answers you receive from many people will not be quite as candid as they would be if the survey were done anonymously.

Part A is designed as a personal analysis of the Sunday morning worship time. It should be understood that there are no absolutes on these things and your answers, although they may be strongly held opinions, are only opinions.
