Multi-Regional Church Planting Questionnaire

MULTI-REGIONAL CHURCH PLANTING QUESTIONNAIRE

Hello Pastors,

As we prepare for our upcoming session on Church Planting, I would like to get your input as Multi-Regional leaders.

I’m sending you a short questionnaire that will help us better understand the present challenges, opportunities, and areas where we can strengthen our church-planting strategy as a ministry.

Your perspective is very important and will help shape both the session and the panel discussion. Please take a few minutes to complete it and include any questions you would like our Church Planting Panel to address.

Thank you for your time, your leadership, and your continued commitment to the vision of reaching cities and expanding the ministry.

6. Are there church-planting methods or approaches that worked well in the past but may need to be adjusted for today? If so, which ones?
