At the Lincoln Gathering last year Kelvyn Fairhall our National administrator said the National Resource Centre would be engaging in a comprehensive survey of our churches. To do this work effectively we’ve engaged the service of a group called Inspiration Point. Over the next few months 1500 people will be surveyed to help

us gain a clearer picture of how we understand ourselves as a family of churches and how we are perceived by pastors, congregants and the com­munity at large. The results should be fascinating and challenging. So if you happen to be contacted to answer some questions please give these your thoughtful and honest response. (I shouldn’t have suggested you wouldn’t) We’ll be bringing these results back to you when they’re collated in full by the end of the year.
