Instructions:
To the pastor receiving this list of questions. What is needed is a combination of things, but primarily is YOUR heart in these regards. Statements regarding church policy should be marked as such. The person who has provided you this list is seriously seeking a HOME Church, that will feed Him/Her and family members. A church must be honest, open to questions, and have the ability to learn, even from someone new.
These questions are submitted with the desire for a written response, so that the provider and family may have an opportunity to discuss how they feel about what you say and offer. But even more so, demonstrate. Actions, often speak louder than words. May God bless you and yours as you prayerfully consider these questions.
