Pastor-Church Evaluation

Thank you for taking the time to fill out this evaluation. I ask for this feedback as part of the discernment process for renewing the call of your pastor, but the questions are designed to evaluate the overall ministry of your church. Your answers to this survey are confidential and your name will not be associated with your comments. However, the answers you supply will be compiled along with all the responses in a single format that will be discussed together with your pastor at a board meeting. --Joseph W. Jennings, District Superintendent
