COMING SOON!
Beginning this Sunday, May 31st - Congregational Vitality Survey
We have an opportunity to participate in a new project out of the ELCA that will help us take a snapshot of where we as a church are now and help us to determine how best to continue on this path. It’s called the Congregational Vitality Assessment (CVA). The CVA is a tool to assist congregational leadership to identify areas of strength and areas of opportunity with the hope of becoming a more vital congregation. This assessment or survey gathers information, offers analysis, and provides a foundation for missional planning. We are asking each person to fill out a one-page form and turn it in. We will offer this assessment tool in paper form (providing time during worship on Sunday, May 31st to fill it out) as well as an online survey (we will provide everyone with an internet link via Faith News on Sunday). We will have one week to collect all the surveys. After they have been submitted, we will receive the analysis within a few weeks. This will be a great tool to assist our new council as they engage the congregation in the fall about how best to move forward from here.
