Church Needs Assessment Survey

A needs assessment survey helps churches prioritise their efforts. The church must do everything possible to make disciples and meet the needs of their people and community. Part of that is identifying our shortcomings and implementing solutions or new programmes to address them. The church needs an assessment survey that will help you better understand your church's mission and vision.

A needs assessment is a process to identify gaps or unmet needs within a community. Once a need is identified, a plan can be put in place to address that need.

Why is it important for churches to conduct needs assessments?

Conducting a needs assessment is one way for churches to discern how they can best serve their communities. By understanding the needs of those around them, churches can focus their resources and energies on areas where they can have the most impact. Additionally, needs assessments can help churches form partnerships with other organizations to more effectively address community needs.

How can a church conduct a needs assessment?

There are many ways to conduct a needs assessment. Some churches choose to survey their community to gather information about needs. Others may hold focus groups or community meetings. Churches may also consult with local service organizations or government agencies to learn about needs in the community.

What are some common needs that churches might identify through a needs assessment?

Some common needs that churches identify include food insecurity, lack of access to healthcare, homelessness, and poverty. However, every community is different, so the needs identified in a needs assessment will vary from place to place.
