Church Generator Purchase Survey

MHCC Church Council is considering the purchase and installation of a

propane gas generator to provide power during electrical outages. It would be a partial facility generator, providing power to the fellowship hall, classroom, kitchen, and restrooms (across from the fellowship hall). The estimated cost would not exceed $35,000.00. We appreciate your input as we evaluate this opportunity.

1. If the church had reliable power during an extended outage, how likely would you be to use the church facility?

2. For what purposes would you most likely use the church during a power outage?

3. How valuable do you believe a powered church facility would be to members of our congregation during a prolonged power outage?

4. How valuable do you believe this resource would be to non-church members in our surrounding community during a power outage?

5. Do you believe providing a safe, powered gathering place during emergencies would strengthen our church’s outreach and ministry within the community?
