From Bishop Monnot: Diocesan Survey Results

Over the last two years, our diocese has been listening deeply to God through scripture, each other, our neighbors, and the world as we work to discern God’s plan for the future of this diocese. The next step in this listening process was the Landscape Survey, which was administered July - early August 2025 for our diocese by Holy Cow! Consulting. This survey is designed to help: measure the level of satisfaction and energy in dioceses/regional associations/judicatories, identify the critical success factors for improving organizational climate, discover where members would like to go in the future, gauge readiness for change, and more.

Results have been compared with 80 other dioceses/regional associations/judicatories within the last 3 years, 60% of which are Episcopal dioceses, to help determine what is typical, exceptional, or an opportunity for growth. Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this survey - your responses are helping our diocese discern our shared vision and develop strategies for living ever more deeply into God’s call for us in Iowa.
