If you read last week’s blog, or if you’ve been hanging around Legacy lately, you know we are engaged in a series of surveys of the congregation to better get a handle on who Legacy is. In one of Jesus’ parables he mentions the wisdom to count the cost before building a tower. Before building anything it’s always wise to know what resources you have available. Are there resources you need to acquire? As God begins writing the next chapter in the history of Legacy, we are taking stock in our greatest earthly asset: His people.
Thanks to all of you that have taken the time, either online, or on Sunday during church, to fill out our simple surveys. This is greatly helping me and the leadership of Legacy to know you and to begin to better understand you.
On week 2 we asked a series of questions that talked about individual’s church attendance (either @ Legacy or somewhere else), the amount of time they find for individual spiritual growth and their view on the current energy level of Legacy.
Let’s get to the charts. Here’s what came in regarding how often individuals attended a regular Sunday worship service.
The second question dealt with how that attendance was compared to three years ago.
I think these both are pretty self-explanatory, but I must say that I’m impressed. Some of you go to church more than me; and I get paid for it!
The third area dealt with how often a person had time for individual spiritual growth. As you can see below, there were a variety of answers given. I appreciated the level of honesty that seemed to be portrayed in the answers.
Lastly, we asked about the current perceived energy level at Legacy. I found this one to be quite interesting. The responses of somewhat decreasing and somewhat increasing almost evenly split for 60% of the respondents (23.7% viewed things about the same). Transitions are always windows to explore new opportunities and are also times of apprehension. We’re seeing that played out in the responses.
This has given me an increased desire to spread the word about the great things that are taking place and the opportunities that lie ahead of us as a church. We also have a great chance to harness this increasing energy source and move ahead to God’s desired future as a church.
As always, I’m extremely grateful for those willing to take the surveys.
If you haven’t yet responded to all the surveys, here’s the links:

Week 2: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GXVRT8P
Week 3: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CSR72SM
Be looking for week 3’s analysis. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog.
You know, I would think that if we had a line in our Church handout or an announcement telling everyone they can come here to see some of the results it might get more views. There is a lot of people that probably don’t use Facebook or even know this good info even exist?
Just a thought kudos to you and your team! God is AWSOM!
Working on it.
Trying to get myself up to speed on the modern technologies. 
Thanks for the encouragement.
