If you’re a pastor or church staff member in the United States, I’d like to kindly ask for your help.

I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Ministry at Southeastern University, and I am working on my dissertation titled “The Leadership and Organizational Traits of Healthy Church Cultures.” From research on the New Testament church, historical church, and modern-day church, I am identifying healthy leadership and organizational traits and their presence among church staff cultures .

If you’re willing, and if you’re currently a pastor or church staff member in the United States, I’d like to ask for your help by completing an online survey about staff culture. I am conducting the survey among local church pastors and staff members in the United States as part of my research on the topic noted above. 

The survey does NOT ask for your name, church name, or location. Therefore, any written results will discuss collective group findings and will NOT identify you, your staff, or your church by name or location. Furthermore, participants may skip any question that you do not wish to answer.  

The online survey takes about 12-15 minutes to complete and is anonymous and voluntary. 

If you are currently a pastor or church staff member in the United States, and if you’re 18 years old or older, would you be open to taking the survey? If so, CLICK HERE to get started. 

I would like the survey to be completed by Friday, August 29, 2025, if at all possible. 

Thank you so much for your consideration and help.
