We also asked people what they found helpful and what could be improved about each service. The following key themes emerged from the responses:


Messy Church:

1.       The interactive teaching is helpful, especially for children, but perhaps a little more needs to be provided for adults.

2.       It needs to be given more time.

3.       It gives people the opportunity to talk more together, but, perhaps to help this, refreshments should be provided from the start.

 

Multi-Media Church:

1.       Singing along to music tracks along with the artist was positively received, but there needed to be some fine tuning in terms of volume levels and leading of the singing.

2.       The visual elements of the service were popular, but would be improved with the addition of subtitles to the music videos.

 

Café Church:

1.       There was an overwhelming sense that sitting together at tables helped to create much more good interaction between church members.

2.       A significant group felt that this is best done with a non-communion service.

3.       Serious thought needs to be given as to how to avoid having the tables and chairs too squashed.

Finally, this chart shows the percentage of respondents wanting the services repeated at different frequencies:
