Connecting People Questionnaire 
The Salvation Army (TSA) nationally is asking everyone associated with a faith expression (corps) to complete an important questionnaire. The questionnaire contains 10 questions and will give TSA a national snapshot of how people are coming to faith and engaging in mission. The snapshot will help TSA better serve and equip people in creating faith pathways to Jesus. The questionnaire will only take approx. five (5) minutes to complete and all people engaged with a Salvos faith community are encouraged to complete this questionnaire once between 13 – 27 June 2021.

Please click the link below to complete the short questionnaire. If you cannot complete it online, opportunity will be given to complete the questionnaire this Sunday using a paper copy.
