The Search Team met tonight to begin discussing the survey. The purpose of the survey is to help us develop a church profile and criteria to evaluate candidates. Ultimately, the survey information can be used to see both where we are as a church body and where we desire to go.
Adrian worked on synthesizing the various survey examples we received from the denomination. We decided to spend some time between this meeting and the next reviewing the questions. We discussed the format the questions should appear in: a continuum, a set of questions, a range of numbers, etc.
We discussed how to find out the characteristics of a pastor through a survey. We will continue to review the pastor qualities as well.
Hopefully, after the next meeting we will be able to schedule the survey workshop and have the congregation provide input to the survey.
Hi, Team! A suggestion you might find helpful in the survey-starting process. When it comes to asking people what kind of sermon they like, you might want to define what "expository" and "thematic" are. Most people are a little hazy on those terms. Actually, if there are any terms that might be confusing, it wouldn't hurt to define them for people! Then we're all on the same page.
