Your Personal Views and Beliefs

In this section of the assessment, we are interested in your views and beliefs in a variety of areas.
You will find statements about how you see things in your church community and statements about your spiritual beliefs. Some items deal with the work of your Pastor and other items seek your views about education.

In each case, YOUR impressions, feelings, and opinions are important for church planning.

In some cases, you may feel that your opinions are not well informed. Please go ahead and give your impression as it is now, even though you realize it could change by talking with others.

Every question requires an answer before you can move forward.

YOU MUST COMPLETE THE ASSESSMENT IN ONE SITTING. The program will not allow you to stop and return to finish later. If you do not believe you can complete the survey in one sitting, please make arrangements to get a paper copy.
