Church Planning Inventory
As we enter into 2026, All Saints’ leadership asks that you invest a few minutes to share your feedback regarding:
· Your participation
· Your spiritual practices and beliefs
· Our ministries
· Our worship
· Our identity and involvement in the community
· Our facilities
We have selected the following "Church Planning Inventory" survey, developed by the Hartford Institute for Religion Research in Connecticut (www.hartfordinstitute.org) to help us accomplish this goal, and ask that all surveys be completed and submitted by January 25, 2026. That way, we can report findings at our 2026 Annual Meeting on February 1, 2026.
This moment provides an important opportunity for us all to share together in assessing who we are and where we see ourselves going. The survey not only asks several sets of questions about the current state of the congregation, but also your own involvement and your thoughts regarding our vision for the future.
Completing this survey ensures that your views have been heard and it will give us a baseline from which to measure whether we are moving in directions that we think are important. We ask all regular attenders in your household ages 15 and over to complete the survey.
You may complete this survey online at this site or on paper. If you choose to fill out the survey online, please try to complete it in one sitting. However, if you are disconnected or are otherwise interrupted, you won’t lose any of this information as it is automatically saved. To complete the survey, you can begin a new questionnaire and page forward to pick up the survey where you left off. If you complete the paper survey please return it to the church so that your responses can be manually entered into the system. This survey will take approximately 15-30 minutes to complete.
When answering this survey, please check the appropriate box or supply the required information as indicated. If answering questions with a limited number of choices, please choose the answer that comes closest to the right answer for you, even if it does not fit perfectly. Unanswered items reduce the usefulness of the inventory. It is important that everyone participate in this survey!
Your responses are anonymous. Thank you for your cooperation. We hope you enjoy filling out the questionnaire and that in addition to assisting our church, you find this process helpful in reflecting on your faith, the meaning of your church experience, and your hopes for the future.
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact: The Rev. Dave Linka, Rector, 252-247-6909 or email at: dave@allsaints.live.
