It is extremely beneficial to gather feedback after a Women’s Ministry event.
While I highly recommend having your team complete a Post Event Evaluation Form after each event, having your attendees complete a survey also provide a valuable perspective.
Distributing and collecting surveys at an event creates a couple of issues:
- Instead of listening to the speaker, women are filling out their surveys.
- The event hasn’t actually ended before the surveys need to be submitted.
This past spring we decided to try something a little different.
We sent out a link to a SurveyMonkey survey after the event (if you collect emails at registration, this can be super easy to implement).
We asked the women to rate these seven things:
1. Topic
2. Location
3. Speaker
4. Worship
5. Food
6. Schedule/Time
7. Overall Event
They were to rate each as:
- Did not meet expectations
- Met expectations
- Exceeded expectations
We also included a space for comments for after each category rating.
We let them know in our post event email that they’d only need about 5 minutes to complete the survey.
We received comments for every category – most of which were very encouraging and a blessing to share with the team.
The seven survey questions we used are applicable for almost any event.
Please feel free to use it “as is” or tweak as needed.

What Your Women Really Want From Your Women’s Ministry
Our congregation were the biggest Prayer Women’s League in our circuit. Today we are only 3 with 5 retired, 1 passed on to higher calling and 1 moved to another city.
The 3 that’s left are 2 in their late sixties and 1 in her late 70’s. The younger women in our congregation always has answer they are still to young and I am talking those from 50 years.
I am really going to ficus this method with my fellow sisters and imement the survey.
Thank you so much for this I formation.
Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, so glad you found this information to be helpful. Praying God will provide additional prayer warriors!
I facilitate Women’s Ministry at our church and was thrilled when a friend steered me to your website! We are restructuring and have found the info you provide to be invaluable. Is there any way you could email me the 7 Survey Questions form that you use so that I can implement that after each event? I look forward to gleaning more from you as I dig deeper into your insights and ideas. Thank you so much.

Christa, so glad you are finding the site to be helpful! ๐ Unfortunately, I canโt access that Survey Monkey survey with the 7 questions (it was on the churchโs Survey Monkey account to which I no longer have access). However, this is another survey we used that you may find helpful. https://womensministrytoolbox.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Womens-Ministry-Interest-Survey.pdf

Hi Chryll, I am sorry you weren’t able to find it. My site is having major issues today. I am working hard to resolve the problems and will try to get the survey to you soon. Thanks for your patience.
Would you email me the survey that Kim asked for?
Thank you.

Hey Megan, I’ll dig around and try to get it to you sometime tomorrow, if not before. ๐
Would it be possible for me to get that same survey Kim asked for? Thanks in advance.
Sure thing! I’ll be sending you an email. ๐
Hello,
Do you have a survey to help find out what women need or want in Women’s Ministry?
Hey Kim, I dug around in my files and found one we used in 2007! ๐ I’ll email it to you and perhaps I’ll update it soon to share on the blog. I hope it helps!
