Westminster Presbyterian Church Worship Service Evaluation

Please consider the questions at the beginning of each section and then select the number that best describes your experience of worship. Your thoughtful and prayerful responses will help the Worship Committee gain better insight into our worship life together.

We request that only members and regular attendees of Westminster fill out this survey.

There is no "save" option, so if you stop midway you will need to start again from the beginning when you come back.

Fields marked with * are required.

This survey will be confidential. Personal information will only be used if we need to contact you to verify the survey results.
