Part 1

Dear Holy Trinity Community:

Holy Trinity's Ministry Site Profile Committee is working this spring on a Ministry Site Profile (MSP), an important document the Metropolitan Chicago Synod will use to provide information about our congregation to pastoral candidates.

Your input about Holy Trinity is crucial to the MSP process. To ensure the MSP accurately reflects our congregation, please take a few minutes to respond to the following survey. All responses are confidential, and you do not have to respond to every question before submitting your responses.

We are grateful for your time and input at this inflection point for Holy Trinity. Please contact Becky Sims at trifectarcs@gmail.com with any questions.

With appreciation,
The Ministry Site Profile Committee
Ryan LaHurd, Ashley Rowland and Becky Sims
