You are a Pastoral Counselor for a well-established culturally, ethnically diverse and vibrant 2000 plus member congregation in a large metropolitan community in the Northeastern United States. The senior minister is charismatic and a dynamic speaker. More and more people are flocking to the church to experience the waves of joy and exultation. However, you noticed that few are joining in ministry services to feed the hungry, support and assist those in need or participate in the church’s excellent Bible school or youth program. During one of the weekly staff meetings chaired by the ministerial chief of staff, you bring up your concerns. The chief of staff ponders your observations and suggests you create a research proposal to uncover the root cause(s) for the lack of interest in joining in the life of faith community by people attending worship.

In the proposal, you will: Define the problem, purpose and significance of the study; describe the methodology including hypothesis, research questions, study design and procedures. Because the church is culturally and ethnically diverse, you will need to develop data that will show any differences between groups of students. Also, as part of the study, you will need to describe what steps you will take to protect the participants.
