1 Introduction Basic Church Profile Inventory Sample This is a sample of all the questions contained in Hartford Institute's Church Profile Inventory Survey that can be completed online. A church that chooses to offer the Inventory to its members to do completely online, or online with an option to have members fill out a paper copy which the church then enters online. Additionally we can customize the look of the survey somewhat, add a logo or photo, change the introduction and concluding remarks, select which questions are asked and even include additional open ended questions if you are interesting all for the same price. Requests for extensive alteration of the survey may require additional charges. The cost of this basic service (which includes several reports produced by the online software program and additional materials about interpretation of the results) is a church $ no matter how many questionnaires are entered. The raw data can be given to the church in a tab delimited, Excel or other format for additional processing by persons at the church skilled in statistical analysis. The following introductory text can be customized to fit your context This moment provides an important opportunity for us all to share together in assessing who we are and where we see ourselves going. This survey is designed to assist in this task. This survey was developed by the Hartford Institute for Religion Research in Connecticut ( The survey not only asks several sets of questions about our congregation's current ministry and your own involvement, but also seeks your input on church dynamics and your vision for our future. Completing this survey ensures that your views have been heard and it will give us a baseline from which to measure whether we are moving in directions that we think are important. We ask that each member of your household over the age of 15 complete the survey. You may complete this survey online at this site or on paper. If you choose to fill out the survey online, please try to complete it in one sitting. However if you are disconnected or are otherwise interrupted, you won t lose any of this information as it is automatically saved. To complete the survey, you can begin a new questionnaire and page forward to pick up the survey where you left off. If you complete the paper survey please return it to the church so that your responses can be entered into the computer. This survey will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete. When answering this survey, please check the appropriate box or supply the required information as indicated. If answering questions with a limited number of choices, please choose the answer that comes closest to the right answer for you, even if it does not fit perfectly. Unanswered items reduce the usefulness of the inventory. It is important that everyone participate in this survey! Your responses are anonymous. Thank you for your cooperation. We hope you enjoy filling out the questionnaire and that in addition to assisting our church, you find this process helpful in reflecting on your faith, the meaning of your church experience, and your hopes for the future. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact the church at [ address]. Page 1

11 Religious Beliefs and Personal Practices Which one of the following best expresses your view of the Bible? The Bible is an ancient book of history, legends and cultural stories recorded by man. It has little value today except as classic literature. The Bible is a valuable book because it was written by wise and good people. I do not believe it is really God's word but it can teach us many moral precepts. The Bible is the record of many different people's response to God and because of this, people and churches today must interpret the Bible's basic moral and religious teachings for themselves. The Bible is the inspired Word of God and its basic moral and religious teachings are clear and true, even if it reflects some human error. The Bible is the actual Word of God and is to be taken literally. Please rate your agreement or disagreement with the following belief statements. Strongly Agree Agree Neutral or Unsure Disagree Strongly Disagree 1. There is no other way to salvation but through belief in Jesus Christ 2. Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life 3. Jesus resurrection from the dead was an actual event 4. All religions are equally good ways of helping a person find ultimate truth. 5. The Bible has answers for all of the basic questions of life 6. Social justice is at the heart of the Gospel 7. It is often difficult to live out my faith in daily work, leisure and community life. Please rate how often you engage in the following practices. Daily Few times a week Once a week Few times a month Seldom or never 1. How often do you spend time in private devotional activity such as prayer, meditation, reading the Bible or other spiritual books? 2. How often do you use the Web at home or at your office? 3. How often do you use ? 4. How often do you go on Facebook? 5. How often do you look at religious Internet sites? 6. How often do you volunteer your time in social service? Page 11
