Why let Hemant have all the fun?
We are an equal opportunity organization, Atheists, christians, agnostics, muslims, jews and anyone unusual enough to care about stuff like this feel free to participate.
For those of you who want to get in on the action, Download the free church survey ( see red button in right hand column) and head to the church of your choice and fill it out.
If you are a regular church goer try visiting a church you normally wouldn’t attend (and that you might think of as being outside your nomal comfort zone)
Post your responses online in the comments of this section and we’ll post them for all to read. We would like to get a copy of your surveys as well so if you do that please ask for our fax number.

1Jim, I’m confused about the following comments on the survey page:
Pay a “Lost” Person to Critique Your Church
Make this offer to your church.
We (the sponsoring church) will pay your missing friend $25 to attend our service and fill out a survey.
I don’t understand what this means. Does it mean “suggest to your church that they pay $25 to have your missing friend visit and survey the church”? Or does it mean “OTM will provide your church with $25 to give your missing friend, if he/she will visit a service and complete a survey”.
Does OTM want these surveys back? Or are they for the churches being surveyed? Or both?

2I can’t speak for Jim, but I’m assuming this is for your church to print out and use with as you please (including funding it yourself) and that it has nothing to do with OTM.

3David is right about the money
Yes we want a copy of the survey (let me know when you have one and I’ll get you a fax # or if you take your laptop to church you can fill it in and then attach in an email).
You can offer the Survey to your/the church and see if they are interested.

6Pay an athiest to evaluate a church? If there was such a thing, I would ask him to judge one thing: was there love there?
