Poll: 15% of church staffers are staying just for the money

I started a long running poll last year asking the following question. Is your primary reason for staying at your church your pay? 222 church staffers(not a lot I know…I’m not Ed Stetzer) responded and to tell you the truth I was pretty surprised by the results, not because I have a hard time believing [...]

Poll: Is your primary reason for staying at your church your pay?

I was talking with a worship leader friend of mine over lunch about calling and the subject of ministry as a career came up. I am not, nor have I ever been, on staff, I am as I like to say full time volunteer. I’m not against paid staff at all, I believe there is [...]

Poll: When a worship leader speaks a lot during worship you are…

Let me layout the scene… You walk into the sanctuary and the worship leader opens with a nice prayer and then the guitar player opens with a great riff and off we go into the first jam.

Poll results: How should worship music relate to culture?

We started a poll a couple months back asking, “In general, how should worship music relate to culture?” Here are the results, which show % of total voters, not votes, since you could choose more than one answer. (That’s why it adds up to more than 100%) 34% – Counter-cultural in some ways 29% – [...]
