Single Adult Survey
Submitted by Max Holt
Fellow SAM Ministers, (Used with permission)
Here is the current survey we use in S.P.L.A.S.H. (Single People Loving And Serving Him.) We distribute it at least once a year and we use the results to plan our year of seminars, discipleship classes and conference/retreat workshops. Our return rate from the SELDOM/NEVER attenders is low but it is excellent from the SOMETIMES/USUALLY attenders. We also hand it out in all of our gatherings and sometimes provide a fellowship time during which we ask them to fill it out. We hand it to individual newcommers and get a fair return rate. Mail returns go up when you use Business Reply Mail, so they don't have to pay the postage. When we design classes around the survey we get great attendance. Last time they asked for a good relationship series,...I scheduled the video series "Finding The Love Of Your Life" and 53 showed up at the first session! Any of you who gave me your snail mail will get a packet in the mail of the other stuff we use in
our ministry. The deal is, you send me your stuff!! OK??Keep the SON in your eyes,

11. How could our ministry best meet your needs?
12. The Bible says that we have all "sinned and fallen short of God's plan," (Romans 3:23), that God loved us enough that "while we were sinners, Christ died for us," (Romans 5:8) and that if you "confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)
It is through this process of acknowledging our sin, confessing it to God and asking Jesus to save us that we become Christians. Have you ever done that? ...........Would you like for someone to explain it in more detail? ......13. With your needs in mind, are there any other comments or insights we could benefit from as we develop this Single Adult Ministry?
14. Identify the top 5 issues Single Adults face today.
Please return this survey to a Single Adult Leader or to the church office.
