As a part of my Master’s in Organizational Leadership from Eastern University I am to conduct a qualitative research project.  I wrote about the master’s program in yesterday’s post.  Read it HERE.  I decided to survey the spiritual health of our church by asking a cross-section of people questions about their own spiritual maturity and growth.

Specifically this research will attempt to measure:

• What contributes to a person’s spiritual growth most?
• What has caused or will cause them to want to take next steps in their spiritual growth?

I am asking people to answer the following questions:

1. What do you believe is spiritual growth?
2. Do you feel you are growing spiritually now?  Why?
3. What has caused your life to improve spiritually in the past?  Were there key events/people/times?  Can you explain?
4. How has Grace Community Church influenced your spiritual growth since you began attending?
5. What would help you grow more spiritually mature?
6. What changes do you need to make to grow more spiritually?
7. Are there any comments or thoughts you have about the church and what we are doing to spur people to “become growing followers of Jesus Christ”?

I am getting great responses so far.  I will share some of my results in future posts.

Feel free to play along.   How would you answer these questions?
