"DTS has surveyed congregations from nearly every denominational and non-denominational background and size. We have surveyed congregations numbering in the hundreds and in the thousands; rural, urban, and suburban; churches with part-time pastors and churches with multiple pastors.

"Your survey helped us develop a picture of our congregation. We used that picture to emphasize and make better the ministries we do well. We also saw areas of deep need and addressed ministries we thought we were doing well in but were not."
Brian Schmelzenbach, Central Church of the Nazarene, Orlando, FL

"We thought your survey was extremely helpful as we made decisions about a capital campaign, as well as established improvement goals. Your willingness to adapt your survey questions to our specific needs was particularly appreciated. Very satisfied, would use your service again."
Allen Nielsen, Tucson, AZ

"I have seen surveys from other companies and yours, by far, is more comprehensive and detailed. I consider it a genuine bargain for what you get out of it."
Mike Lindsey, Hilton Head Island, SC

"We continue to refer back to your survey to keep us on target as we develop new goals and modify existing ones."
Richard Sargent, First Baptist Church, South Charleston, SC

"With your survey we were able to get an accurate snap shot of our congregation. It greatly aided us in understanding who we were ministering to, our strengths and where we need to improve. It helped me as a Senior Pastor."
Tom Blasco, Great Plains Community Church, Overland Park, KS

"We used your survey to not only clarify our strengths, but expose our weaknesses and perceived areas that need improvement."

"Good customized reporting according to our needs."
Brent Thompson, Centennial Community Church, Littleton, CO

"...this one is great! I have recommended it to many people. The charts and graphs are especially helpful. Since it is administered by an outside 3rd party, we receive a more candid response than we would if we did a survey in-house."
Dr. Brian Simmons, Indianapolis, IN

"Your survey was valuable to us in that it provided essential information regarding our current posture for launching a capital campaign."
Greg Benedict, Chauhassen, MN

"I recommend you! I think your cost is very good compared to a custom made instrument through a development contract."
Dr. Brian Simmons, Indianapolis, IN
