A Volunteer
The Worship Ministry is currently conducting a survey of both the church and the local area in order to increase our awareness of necessities and desires. The anticipated result is that we can use this information to better serve the community through our efforts as a Worship Ministry. We have already made headway on the church survey, but now we have come up on the community survey.
We have a local marketing research firm (PAR) to assist us in survey implementation, and data collection and interpretation. However, we need to provide the man power for the actual surveying. The survey will be conducted by phone (i.e. volunteers will have a script by which they will talk to the survey taker [no need for extemporaneous talking] and then they will enter the data from the survey taker's responses into a computer). We have projected that we will need around 200 man hours of surveying in order to get a reliable sample set.
This is where you all come in. PAR is providing a training evening for volunteers to prepare them for whichever dates they decide to volunteer. The training evening will be Monday, November 30 at 7 PM and will most likely last an hour (and then from 8-9 PM we can use the equipment to start). Although the training night is not required for volunteers, it is highly recommended. After the training night the dates that we will use PAR's facilities are as follows:
Thursday, December 3
Tuesday, December 8
Thursday, December 10
Tuesday December 15
Wednesday, December 16
Thursday December 17
The times for which we are able to use the phones at PAR are 4-9 PM. This does not mean that if you decide to volunteer to help us that you have to be there for 5 hours, nor does it mean that you have to be there by 4. We do need for anyone who is able to be there at 4 to go ahead and be there at that time. In other words, anytime that you find available to help us in this effort is greatly appreciated and needed.
Please, please, look at these dates and times to see if you are available to help us in this endeavor. If you are available to help please call 858-5000 (ext. 211) or e-mail jmiller@fccn.org to confirm. We do expect that the results will truly help FCC to better serve our community.
For the Kingdom!
