Unchurched Survey

This assignment was to interview 2 friends that are unchurched. For the sake of understanding, unchurched describes a person who either does not go to church or is not a follower of Jesus Christ. The next two blog posts are my reactions to the experiences I had with the following survey questions.

  • Are you actively attending any church?
  • If not, have you ever been invovled with a church? Describe your experience.
  • What are a few issues or topics that impact or interest you?
  • Why do you think most people don't attend church?
  • If you were to look for a church to attend, what kind of things would you look for?
  • What advice can you give to pastors who really want to be helpful to people?

Given my current position as a church planter I have had numerous conversations with folks that are not currently attending a church. They either never have or have not attended in a while. If we would just take the time to listen to their experiences and heart cries we would open up many more opportunities to join them in their faith journey.
