Help for Research Study

A member of our congregation, Sylvia Richards, is conducting a research study and has asked for our help. The purpose of the study is to explore how one’s experience of Christianity helps to develop faith and sustain faith over time.

All adults (18 years and up) in Jefferson County with a Christian background are eligible to participate in the study. 

This study is limited to Jefferson County, but not limited to the United Methodist Church. All adults from any of the churches in Jefferson County are invited to participate, as well as those who don’t attend any church, as long as they have some background with the Christian tradition. 

I would like to have as broad a range of participants as possible–those who attend church every Sunday as well as those who seldom or never attend (and everyone in between). 

There are two phases to this study:

1. An online questionnaire that takes about 10 minutes to complete. People can participate directly online, or they can call or text me at 641-451-0527 to participate by phone. The link to the online survey is: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ChristianResearch    
2. Phase Two is a followup to the questionnaire and involves a personal interview with the researcher (Sylvia Richards). It could be in person or on Zoom. Completing the online questionnaire does not obligate anyone to be interviewed.  

Please invite all your friends in Jefferson County to participate in the online questionnaire. It is easy and fun! Talk to your friends, post on Facebook, or send an email. Thanks so much for your help!
