Bishop Dan Schwerin, of the Northern Illinois - Wisconsin Episcopal Area of the United Methodist Church, asks that we participate in a denomination-wide survey authorized by the Council of Bishops and designed to listen to United Methodists about the present and future of the United Methodist Church.
The insights gathered will directly inform the 2026 Leadership Gathering as we seek to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in this Kairos season.
The survey will be open from January 15th– February 15, 2026 and can be accessed here.
This is an important opportunity to speack faithfully and paryerfully into the life of our Church. The survey is estimated to take only ten minutes. Findings from the survey will be shared with the general Church in the months leading up to the October gathering.
