Dear First Lutheran Members and Friends,

The Strategic Vision Task Force would like to “take the pulse” of the congregation of First Lutheran Church, our ministries and community, and find ways for the congregation of First Lutheran to feel more connected, comfortable, and cared for.

A short 9 question survey has been created to help gather information from our members.  All responses will remain anonymous. 

If you wish to complete this survey on paper, please contact Dawn at the church office, and a copy of the survey will be mailed to you.

Thank you in advance for taking a few minutes to help as our church moves forward after the Pandemic.
