Congregational Survey - Results


As British Columbia is gradually re-opening, there are still many restrictions in place regarding mass gatherings. It is possible that these restrictions may remain in place for longer than we anticipated. We would like to find out the congregation's preference about how ministry should be conducted under these constraints. Therefore, an online survey was conducted between June 21-30, 2020. The results of the survey can be viewed using the following link:

Thank you for your enthusiastic participation in the survey. It has been very helpful to the pastoral team and the deacon board in the decision-making process. If you have any question regarding the result of the survey, please do not hesitate to contact one of the pastors.
