Survey on worship services 2015
ChurchCouncil is always considering the number, style and timing of worship services. It was suggested at the congregational meeting in march that Council again canvas the congregation on the question of reducing the number of services. In response to this request, concil composed a survey. The survey focuses on examining the diversity of members' worship style preferences, to see if combining of services is possible. Questions concerning which services to combine and at what times, are not yet being considered.
The survey can be completed in paper form available at church, or on the web using this link.
The following graphs show the results of the first 49 surveys returned by April 16.
The first plot shows the average and standard deviation of the various questions.
"A sense of the holy" is the top performer. There may be different interpretations of what this means, and the spread of values is large, but it is clearly important to many people. Its histogram shows this. The height of the bar shows the number of surveys that gave each score for this question.
It is also apparent from the averages plot that the time questions have large spreads.
The plot to measure diversity is this. Each question has a position on the graph, vertically the number of +3 (essential) answers, and horizontally the number of -3 (won't come) answers. Questions towards the middle of the plot show incompatible opinions. For example, a time of 11am has 6 respondents who will only come at 11, and 5 who will never come at 11.
