When to use this form
Use this form when you need structured, respectful feedback on preaching, leadership, and care. Church boards, elder teams, staff, and search committees can run it before annual reviews or during a new hire's first 90 days to set goals. Use it after a sermon series, a major change, or pastoral counseling initiatives to spot strengths and gaps. For livestreamed services or online classes, pair it with a Webinar feedback form to hear from remote participants. When the pastor leads staff or ministry councils, results can complement a Meeting feedback survey form. For guest speakers or teaching nights, compare delivery and clarity with a Presentation feedback form. The outcome: fair insights, clear next steps, and a healthier ministry.
Must Ask Pastors Evaluation Questions
- How clearly did the message present Scripture and a practical next step?
This shows whether people understood the heart of the sermon and what to do with it. You can compare patterns with a Post presentation survey form after special events.
- Which pastoral care or discipleship support most helped you this month, and why?
This reveals where care is landing and where needs are unmet. It guides how the pastor allocates time and equips lay leaders.
- How well does the pastor lead teams and meetings to decisions that stick?
Leadership shows up in preparation, facilitation, and follow-through. Your input highlights strengths and gaps the pastor can coach and measure.
- How approachable and available is the pastor outside Sunday services?
Approachability affects trust, counseling, and follow-up. This helps balance visibility on Sundays with real accessibility during the week.
- What is one specific thing the pastor should start, stop, or continue?
The start/stop/continue frame turns opinions into concrete actions. It surfaces quick wins and prevents vague, hard-to-use comments.
