I’ve asked everyone in our community groups at encounter to take a couple minutes and either fill out an online survey or a printed version of the survey regarding their experiences in their encounter community group.
I’ve received some of the community group surveys back already – (they were sent out roughly a week ago)
A few interesting things so far… (from the current respondents).
- 87% are married
- 75% have children
- 75% learned about their group from a Sunday morning announcement
- 87% attend their group regularly (3-4 times a month)
- 100% attend encounter – 100% attend frequently
- 75% have attended encounter for more than a year
- 87% have been a Christ follower for at least 3 years
- 62% rarely or never attended church growing up
- 100% are involved in other encounter ministries
- 100% would recommend their group
- 67% have invited at least 1 person to their group
- 100% would rank the quality of their group 3 or higher on a 1-5 scale
- 50% would rank the quality of their group a 5
I have a feeling these results have come primarily from one or two groups, so it will be interesting to see how the rest of the results turn out and if there’s much variation. I’d also be interested to see how other churches score.
