First things first... Thank you for taking the time to tell us about yourself and your experience of our congregation!
Surveys can help break down assumptions and help reveal what is. This survey will help you, your congregational leadership, and your future minister understand your congregation better. Answers to these questions will help guide cottage meeting discussions, and help enrich the narrative that your search committee shares with ministerial candidates.
It's a long and somewhat tedious survey, so please pour yourself a beverage and settle in. This is a thorough investigation, for sure! We estimate the survey will take 15-20 minutes to fill out. 
The raw data will be kept confidential. If a question makes you feel uncomfortable or too vulnerable, please skip it. If you have questions or concerns, please contact: your search committee at: search@uucheyenne.org

Please be an honest as possible. Your leadership is ready to hear what you have to say. A summery and analysis will be reported out to the congregation.
