- Be honest about your experience by selecting the answers that are true for you. We don't want you to answer with what you think we want to hear- we need raw insight! 

- Read carefully the question and note if we are asking about POTENTIAL or ACTIVE churches. There are a variety of different scenarios we want to gain insight on, so read carefully and respond accordingly.
