Wesley Church Survey

SAS (Simplified Accountable Structure) and General Questions

In 2018, Wesley Church conducted a series of meetings and surveys as part of a Strategic Planning process. We had a lot of participation and highlighted all the work we did in the community. However, one of the areas of focus that we heard from many members was about our structure. The Simplified Accountable Structure (SAS) is an accepted United Methodist Church structure and another option to streamline our structure, but with a focus on the administrative ministries – that of Church Council, Finance, SPRC, and Trustees. Please help us by answering the following questions. Answers are confidential unless you would like to enter your name and email.
