WELS Hymnal Project

WELS Pastors Surveyed about Worship

In January, a survey was sent out to all active WELS pastors in order to gather information about how the Christian Worship line of resources is being used and input about the direction of the new hymnal project. 807 pastors completed the survey. We are thankful for the information that has been provided.

At its February meeting, the project’s executive committee spent time discussing the results. Over the next few weeks, each of the project’s subcommittees will be sharing some of the information that was gathered as well as insights as to how it will help them in their work.

Three more surveys are planned during 2014: one for teachers, one for musicians, and one directed at any and all congregation members (“the people in the pew”).

Thank you for continuing to share your input and ideas with us. We are eager to continue to listen!
