Community Renewal Through Focus Groups & Research
People are hungry for connection and authentic relationships.
We consult with individuals who were once Christians or frequent members of a church or faith community. They are experts of their experience and have important information and perspectives for community renewal and outreach.
How We Do It:
Research
Prior to participation in a focus group, individuals will be asked to participate in an online survey. Participation in this survey is anonymous, which means that no one (not even the research team) will know the responses.
Focus Groups
Following participation in an online survey, a sample of participants will be invited to attend a focus group. Participants will be given a discussion guide that outlines the focus group questions. We will analyze the feedback sessions and present a thorough written and/or oral report to be shared with interested persons or churches.
Roundtable Talks & Re-imagining Gathering.
Participants in our Roundtable Talks and Re-Imagining gathering are viewed as experts and consultants. Their views are valued and the environments in which the talks are held are strictly judgment free zones.
