Reveal Report - Part Three

Below are some more results we gained from the 355 adults from Grace Church who participated in the Reveal Survey (see parts one and two for more explanation):

51% tithe 10% or more
36% serve those in need on their own at least once a month
21% had at least 6 evangelistic conversations with unbelievers over the past year 17% meet with a spiritual mentor at least once a month

While everyone indicated that they were stalled spiritually at some point in their spiritual development, 24% of those from Grace who took the survey indicated that they were currently stalled spiritually. To be very transparent, 11% indicated they were dissatisfied with the role the church was playing in helping them grow spiritually. That is certainly a concern for us in leadership to be praying about and discussing. Yet, on the flip-side it also means that 76% of our church is currently not stalled in their spiritual life and that 89% of our church is satisfied with the role the church is playing in helping them grow spiritually. By the way, the average of the total sample across all 420 churches was that 23% were currently stalled spiritually and 17% were dissatisfied with the role their church was playing in helping them grow spiritually.

I will end this three part report with my being the most transparent of all. Below are the results of the survey about me as the Senior Pastor. The survey divided this area into two sections. First, in the opinion of those who participated, what was the most important activities that I as the Senior Pastor should participate in. Second, how satisfied are the people with my role in these areas. Hey, I have nothing to hide so here is what the data found:

92% of those from Grace who participated said it was important that the Senior Pastor preach inspiring sermons (96% of those surveyed were satisfied with my role in this).

70% said it was important for the Senior Pastor to cast a vision for the church (87% were satisfied with my role in this).

64% said it was important for the Senior Pastor to create a welcome and open environment (86% were satisfied with my role in this).

48% said that it was important for the Senior Pastor to attract, develop, and motivate ministry teams (73% were satisfied with my role in this).

43% said that it was important for the Senior Pastor to provide guidance about spiritual growth (69% were satisfied with my role in this).

37% said that it was important for the Senior Pastor to encourage the use of congregant’s gifts (61% were satisfied with my role in this).
