Saint Peter Communications Survey Results

Thank you to everyone who completed the recent Saint Peter communications survey. This feedback is very valuable, and we’ve already made changes to what we publish and how we publish it. Below are charts illustrating survey responses along with some of our key takeaways.

We are happy to see that you enjoy the “Our Life Together” Weekly Newsletter and the emails from Saint Peter! We do not currently have an app or text messaging system but anticipate both becoming common ways churches communicate with their congregations. We will explore options soon.

No surprise that Facebook is so popular. It’s our goal to publish there at least twice a week. If you haven’t already, join us at www.facebook.com/StPLC/.

While the majority of you enjoy emails, if you would rather not receive any emails, we understand. You can always unsubscribe or contact the church office to be removed from the email list.

You want to receive more frequent emails from Saint Peter. Starting now, look for bi-weekly “Our Life Together” messages in your inbox. We will consider weekly emails in the future.

If you would like a personal tour of the new website and tips on how to find what you need, please contact Sara Lancaster in the church office.

You want to know about upcoming church events, updates about the building and staff, as well as receive scriptures, prayers, and other inspirational messages. Consider it done!

Miscellaneous Comments

It was very helpful to get write-in feedback. Here are a few of the comments we received.

  • Less paper

  • Perhaps include a guest blog on the church website for members to be invited to contribute

  • Favorite way to learn about church events: Personal invitation and personal reminder week of event

  • Make service time more prominent on the website

  • What happened to the phone tree? Maybe try text message reminders. Facebook or Google calendar could be used more often.

  • More personal visits

  • Text messages for special events

  • Would like communication regularly and consistently. Communication has been very inconsistent.

  • Would like to receive prayer list.

  • I like the What's Happening emails. I think weekly would be too much. People will stop reading because it's too much. I like to be able to click on the live links.

Thank you again for participating in the survey. Look for upgrades to how we communicate with you in the coming months.
