Strategic focus

The Bryn Athyn Church is in the process of updating our strategic plan; as part of that process, we are trying to assess where things are going well, and where there are opportunities to improve. To that end, we* are interested in your feedback on the questions below.

* A note about "we":

A church is made up of both the professionals (pastoral staff, teachers and administrators), AND the congregation as a whole. In answering the questions below, we encourage you to think about how "we" ALL are doing as the Bryn Athyn Church.
