First ImpressionsWas the building easy to find? If you drove, was it hard to find parking? How about the exterior or interior signage – what would you do differently?Yes it was very easy to find, lot’s of parking. Did anyone approach you and speak to you before the service got underway? If so, how did you feel about that? Can you share their name(s)? Did you know them before your visit?Yes, several people approached me and spoke with me, the pastor and several other people I did not know…3. General ObservationsAs you observe the people “doing their church thing”, what goes through your mind? Are you able to understand why they do what they do? Do they seem sincere?I understood what they did and thought it was very sincere!What do you think about the rituals (the liturgy or the program)?They were very un-ritualisticCheck out the church program/bulletin. Is there anything in it you find confusing or offensive? If this were your “business” how would you improve this communication piece?I think it was laid out very well, easy to read and informative.4. Music & PrayerWhat did you think of the music? Did you enjoy any of it? Was it boring? Write down the feelings you had while watching or participating. The worship was very good, simple music, two guitars and a piano, but it was very good.What did you think of the prayers? As you listened to the prayers, what did you learn about the people, either good or bad? Did they “major in the majors” or get lost in the minors?The prayers were very good5. The TalkDid the speaker or pastor seem likeable? Weird? Is she/he a person you’d enjoy having coffee with? If not, why not? How about the quality of her/his talk: does the speaker need public speaking lessons or is she/he pretty good? Did she/he seem engaged/sincere/condescending? The pastor was very neat, he was very funny and down to earth. I really like Pastor Jacob Kim and would love to hang out with him.Did the talk itself hold your attention? Was it enjoyable? Thought-provoking? Relevant? Credible? Did any part(s) of it particularly stand out to you in a positive or negative way?The message was very relevant and I really enjoyed it. I had a great time and learned a lot from it.6. After the Service/MeetingDid anyone approach you and speak to you after the service ended? If so, how did you feel about that? Can you share their name(s)? Did you know them before visiting?I talked with a bunch of people after the service and they were all very friendly. We had pizza and just hung out for a while. Did you bring any adults or children with you to our service? If so, ask them about their experience. What did they tell you?no, it was college age7. Concluding ThoughtsHow was your experience at the church overall? Did you enjoy it? Would there be any point in you going there again? I really enjoyed it and would definitely go back some time…If this church expects to attract people like yourself, what do you suggest they improve that you haven’t already mentioned? Advertise a little more thats it
