---------------------
Write down what you think Dungeness Community Church
does well.
They chose a great youth
pastor
Everyone has each others back
no matter what like a family.
I think DCC welcomes people
really well especially new people.
Our mission trips and
outreach is our best strength
I like how DCC is welcoming
of other people who are atheists or believe Jesus in a different context. I
like the singing. Everyone is so nice and intoxicated with the essence of God.
Our church does missions well
including support of missionaries
Church
The location provides
gorgeous scenery. The church is welcoming to newcomers.
Music/Worship/Sunday school
Building relationships w/
students in YM. Short term missions. Serving others. Fostering relationships in
church community.
DCC is great at providing
opps for service and worship involvement. Church supports short term missions
and local outreach.
I think they do good with
having lots of trips and activities for youth.
I think DCC runs a very
welcoming and ministry purposed youth program. The amount of kids that have
made friends and have been influenced by Christ is remarkable.
Mission trips
Missions and services
The community outreach with
programs like Mychoices and the out of area missions trips.
What is your general feeling about sung worship at
DCC? What do you like about it? What could make it better?
As a muscician I see many
areas that need work, but most of those are things like tempo. Worship could be
better by calling the youth into the worship service and leading others.
To old school.
I feel that we often over use
songs. Also, louder and more bass instruments.
I feel like a lot of
improvement could be made at this church, although I think there are a few
singer have much potential to reach people through their gifts. Sound board and
lighting needs help and advice.
Sometimes it’s good. There
are mostly old people, but it would be cool to have music like Mars Hill
although that might be unrealistic.
I like it but it could be
better. I’d like it louder and darker in a smaller area like the Upper Room. I
do thing song choice and quality has gotten a lot better.
I appreciate the heart behind
those singing and their willingness to be involved. More upbeat songs, clapping
songs- that are easier to get audience involved.
I love how everyone sings and
worships the Lord.
It’s def emphasized here,
which is very nice. Instrumentation gives full sound. I think the church could
expand their song library and include new songs..
I don’t like a lot of the
songs. I like the instrumentation. Improvement: Better songs, more hymns, not
skipping verses.
Overall it’s ok, not perfect
but improving. I like when we have more people up on stage and upbeat music. We
need more contemporary music mixed in (not limited to older music)
I really like it because it
inviting and the singers look happy to be doing their job.
Worship is alright. I feel
it’s more for older people and we could use more upbeat music.
I like most of songs, but
feel like we have been singing the same ones over and over. Some morning are
more alive than others. I like how anyone who wants to sing, can.
I like it. Everyone gets into
the songs. The lady who did it today [Breva Funston] was really uplifting and
it made me feel better.
It’s too slow and old fashioned.
What is your general feeling about spoken worship at
DCC (aka Piper’s teaching on Wednesday/Sunday teaching) What do you like about
it? What could make it better?
I think that if we were a
little more deep and philosophical it would be better.
Good. I like it. He is so
cool and can make the messages so we understand them. He interests everyone
which is great.
I like both Wednesday’s and
Sundays. Both times I’m generally able to connect and reflect on the message
being given.
I think it’s fine, one
thought though is maybe something new.
The content is good because
it connects with the HS/MS students on their level
I like how he makes personal
connections and stresses application. It could be made better through less
tangents and getting quickly to the point so you don’t lose attention.
Spoken worship is good. I
like that he is able to connect to us well. It would be better if... [this
sentence left blank].
What I would expect from a
church based on my experience. Sometimes is repetitive (ex. “we just finished a
14 week series” 1 ½ months ago)
I’m new
I appreciate the enthusiasm
and big picture ideas that you bring to your lessons! However, sometimes you
have so much background knowledge you want to share with us that it can get us
on some tangents, and while interesting, may make some confusion for your
audience J
Piper… you’re awesome. The
lessons are awesome and I think you do a really good job of reaching everybody.
I think they’re good. Easier
to understand the message, and not boring [I couldn’t tell if the student meant
this in a positive or negative way based on final sentence]. Usually pretty
funny though.
I think Piper has very good
insight and inspirational teachings to share with us, and I appreciate his
clear passion for the Lord. One thing that could make it better though, is
maybe more of a direct focus on the topic at hand, instead of a multiple
focused speech.
I enjoy theological
discussions. I don’t like questions that nobody answers.
It’s down to earth and more
understanding.
I don’t usually attend this
(I’m graduated) but from what I have observed, it’s great!
Write down what you don’t like about DCC.
How the youth and older
generation are kind of separated.
There is not enough seating
in the auditorium.
Mission trip fundraisers. (I
don’t like swags+ Auction)
Sometimes it feels like there
is not much enthusiasm during worship and I can’t usually connect to the
sermon.
I dunno. Sort of like the big
churches with sort of a young people type vibe. I’ve always gone to DCC and
this is sort of what I’m used to.
Generally it’s pretty good.
Maybe a few too many old people but that’s not going to change.
Regular long sermons and
sometimes going off track. Lot’s of elderly, which is ok, but sometimes makes
it difficult for youth.
I’m new
Needs new carpet. Nothing.
No one goes to [HS] youth
group so it’s kind of boring.
Small [HS] youth group
N/A
Worship is too mellow and
laid back.
I don’t like that the grass
isn’t two inches long. It’s not conducive to playing games safely outside.
I like everything. I wish
there was Firwood [summer camp] for High Schoolers. (it was a big eye opener)
I don’t know
Write down what you would change about church if you
could.
The high school needs a
summer retreat..
Nothing, just wish there was
Firwood and more mission trips. I love them!
If I could I would like to
see the youth band sing on Sundays more often also I would like their to be
cake on Wednesdays J
Worship. I think worship is
important because it’s how we start our day.
N/A
More information about long
term [supported] missionaries. Do announcements. High school summer retreat.
More people at [HS] youth
group, better games.
Add another hs/ms retreat.
[Left completely blank]
More community building opps
b/w youth and church family. More lively and upbeat services. Steady and
exciting worship opportunities.
DCC has its own unique
atmosphere. I wouldn’t really change anything.
I suppose if it was possible,
having more young people music, I like the concert vibe some churches have but
I don’t think it could work here for this church.
I still want it to be more
active and personal relationship with God… sometimes it feels like it’s just a
bunch of information.
More chairs.
More chairs for the high
schooler’s in the auditorium.
I wish that the generation
gap wouldn’t be such a gap and that the youth would be called into adulthood by
the adults on a more personal level.
