Act on your survey results

Churches can use their survey feedback to have more meaningful conversations and make informed decisions, with evidence to back up choices and directions. Churches can form an action plan that empowers attenders to contribute their gifts and skills and move to action together.

• Facilitate a celebration of strengths
• Undertake a process to plan, set vision and act
• Move to action together
• Resources to help you act

 

Facilitate a celebration of strengths

Undertake a process to plan, set vision and act

Facilitate a time of reflection to engage your results and move to action. A range of planning process options are provided in the Church Life Survey Workbook, or choose another process, to allow churchgoers to review the findings and develop a response.

Invite all church attenders or a selected task group to undertake the chosen process of planning or setting a vision. Encourage all church attenders to get involved in pursuing the church's goal or vision and moving to action.

Planning Processes are available to help your church plan for the future: Reflection Action Planning Process; and a Comprehensive Planning Process. 

Move to action together

Whatever plan you complete, or vision you set, the important thing is to move to action.
Ensure attenders are involved in active participation, owning the plan or vision and achieving it together.

• Practical processes, reflective exercises, worksheets and workshops to engage your results. Suitable for individuals or teams.
