Temple Baptist Church Men's Ministry Survey

This survey was recently sent out in hard copy form. If you have responded to the survey then you do not need to complete this online survey. We sent out 220 surveys and only received responses from 61 men. Even if you are not interested in being involved in the Men's Ministry program would you take a minute and complete the first portion of the survey. We are interested in your feedback. God has said men are to be the leaders of the family and the church and we are looking for ways to bring men together for fellowship, service and spiritual development. Your answers are very important to us and will help shape the future of our men's ministries at Temple Baptist Church. If you have any comments or questions, please contact Pastor Steve at (209) 369-1948 or steve@tbclodi.com.
