Believe Out Loud Survey

The Believe Out Loud Welcoming Taskforce is resuming our planning meetings now that our Lenten series has come to a close.


The next steps in the welcoming process include gathering some feedback from you all to help inform the vestry, followed by the vestry’s vote on whether CTK is ready to become a Believe Out Loud Parish.

Many of our parishioners had questions from our one-on-one interviews. If you were one of them, do you feel as though your questions were answered? (please use “n/a” if you didn’t have any questions).
