Community Survey

Dear Friend and Neighbor,

We need your opinion! Our church family is going through a strategic planning process. Our goal is to effectively use our resources to address the most pressing community needs. We’ve learned that it’s important to listen to the thoughts and advice of those around us.

We know you are busy - that is why the survey is designed to take only a few minutes to complete. This is a confidential survey. We promise that no one will attempt to call or contact you in any way. We sincerely wish to gain insight from those who live around us - nothing more and nothing less.

Thank you for helping us.

Your neighbors at Community Bible Church.
