IN TRANSITION: SURVEYING THE CONGREGATION

BEAUTIFUL SAVIOR LUTHERAN CHURCH CONGREGATION SURVEY

As it prepares a congregation assessment to be used in calling a new pastor, the Transition Team has been collecting information and views on what members like, what they would change and ideas for Beautiful Savior's future. Roundtable meetings in February provided valuable feedback. The team seeks to drill deeper into those initial findings. Please complete the survey below.
