Ridge-Garden Community Survey
As part of our Connect Church work, the Ridge-Garden Impact Committee, a joint charge of the CRUMC & Clover Garden UMC, wants to learn more about our neighbors. We don’t want demographic stats. We want to know what you love about our community. What are its strengths, what worries you, and what opportunities do you see? If you would like to help, just fill out our survey.
