Covid Research Survey

For the last 4 years we have been participating in a research study about congregational life after the pandemic. They now have asked us to reach out directly to people who attend our congregations to get their feedback. We ask that you please take a few minutes and complete this survey. This is extremely valuable information as we try to understand the impact of the pandemic on our lives, and on congregations. Thank you so much for your time and willingness to share.
