Worship Ministry Data Survey

Our churches are hungry for meaningful worship and good worship leaders. Worship should be our joy and strength, and yet pastors are stating their highest stress comes from planning weekly worship. The Institute for Modern Worship (IMW) is here for you, and we want to hear from you! IMW has created a Worship Ministry Data Survey to understand and work towards meeting the worship ministry needs of the MOAC. The survey results will inform how we can partner with MOAC in providing new opportunities, resources, and support to our church leaders in this great work.
