Frustrated Pastor Creates Church Survey App after Discouraging Experience with Paper Surveys

Survey My Church is the first smartphone app with a companion website that gives churchgoers the power to provide their ministers with feedback about their church going experience. The feedback process is now shortened from months to minutes. Armed with this data, ministers can now retain more members and grow their church by responding instantly to the feedback they have received and combat the decline in their church membership.

Pastor Gerald Kiner, CEO of Let This Mind Be in You Technologies, is the Senior Pastor of Jesus People Church in Memphis, Tennessee. He developed the Survey My Church app after he was giving a paper survey by church consultant, investor, and philanthropist, John J. Vincent. The paper survey was intended to be a tool to determine Pastor Kiner's church members' attitudes toward his church.

Pastor Kiner quickly became discouraged due to the frustration caused by how long it took for his members to complete the survey. Then, once he collected the surveys, it took him even longer to transfer the responses to a database so that he could analyze the data. While in prayer, God inspired Pastor Kiner to create a smartphone app to transform the entire survey process into a convenient experience for both himself and his members.

Survey My Church allows churchgoers to quickly and anonymously use the smartphone app to rate the service they have just attended. Pastors can then log onto www.SurveyMyChurch.com to review a chart that displays the survey results of how every respondent felt about the service. The process only takes minutes. Churchgoers without smartphones can also visit www.SurveyMyChurch.com to complete the survey. Pastor Pamela Anderson says, "With such instant feedback from this app, there is no excuse for pastors not to make the necessary changes to keep their church from dying."

The app is available in the Apple App Store for iPhones and Google Play for Android devices for just $.99.
