We are handing out two separate but equally important surveys today in our service. The first is a Pastoral Effectiveness Survey that will help us express and help the pastor gauge how the direction in which we have been moving in the six months since he has been here. It is still early within his ministry here, but the pastor believes that through consistent and early attention, we can identify and solve potential problems before they become entrenched and chronic. With this in mind, the pastor is asking for your honest and open opinion on this first survey. Any information that you share will be confidential. The pastor will receive only a print out of the results of this survey as Elder Julia Vernon will collect and collate the information, burn the original papers, and then forward a printout of the results of this survey to the pastor.
Secondly, we are handing out a Departmental Exit Survey for all our Departmental Heads to complete and turn into the pastor. The purpose of this survey is twofold: 1) to help in the nominating process to see what likely candidates we have to fill particular church ministries and 2) to help us identify and recognize the achievements of the various departments. Please, filling out these surveys is an essential tool in ensuring the continued success of our ministry here in Salt Lake City.
