  1. Survey Results 2014 Servant Leadership In Action

  2. How important is the early SS gathering and SS Song Service to your worship experience on Sabbath.

  3. In years past the SDA church had Sabbath School classes organized for outreach and service. How important is it for our Sabbath School classes to return to that model?

  4. I prefer the new format of going straight to SS class at 9:30AM and having SS/Ministry sharing time before the worship service.

  5. Our SS classes have a warm and inviting environment for visitors.

  6. I believe the content and discussions in my SS class are appropriate for visitors and non-members.

  7. I prefer that SS be led using a lecture style of delivery for the quarterly content (limited participation, but strong guidance from the SS leader).

  8. I prefer that SS be led using a group discussion style of delivery for the quarterly content (high group discussion, and more limited guidance from the SS leader).

  9. I am open to considering that one service a month be focused purely on visitors. This means the service, Sabbath School, potluck, and special events are designed to encourage every member to invite one member.

  10. The Sermons are engaging and relevant.

  11. The Sermons feed me spiritually and help me grow.

  12. Song Service Time • 51% - 10 minutes • 49% - 15 minutes • Announcement Time • 68% - 5 minutes • 32% - 10 minutes • Children’s Story Time • 29% - 1 to 2 minutes • 71% - 5 minutes

  13. Offertory Time • 77% - 1 to 2 minutes • 23% - 5 minutes • Intercessory Prayer Time • 54% - 1 to 2 minutes • 46% - 5 minutes • Sermon Time • 20% - 20 minutes • 80% - 30 minutes • Comments: • As long as it takes • Can be longer • 40 minutes • As needed • 30-45 minutes • 35 minutes • As needed, 30 minutes or more • 30 minutes plus • As long as it takes.
