Thank you for participating in my DMin research. The purpose of this DMin action research project is to give church leaders a biblical and missional response to the ideologically driven disunity in congregations affiliated with the Rocky Mountain Church Network.
On this page, you will find links to the required devotional. You can either download a PDF file or purchase a Kindle ($0.99) or paperback ($4.99) version from Amazon. For a short time, the Kindle version will be free. It is also free if you have a subscription to Kindle Unlimited. If you would like to order multiple copies of the paperback version, contact me at john@rmcn.org.
You will also find a link for the Initial Survey. As the project progresses, you will also find a link for the Follow-Up Survey. Please note that you must complete the Consent Form you received via email in order to complete the surveys. If you do not have access to the email containing the link to your Consent Form, please contact me at john@rmcn.org.
This page includes dates and locations for the one-day presentations in Taylorsville, UT, Broomfield, CO, and Sheridan, WY.
Thank you for your participation. I hope and pray that this project will give church leaders in RMCN the tools they need to help bring unity so that the Great Commission is fulfilled in our churches.

Initial Survey
The Initial Survey is designed to gauge the presence and impact of ideologically driven disunity in congregations affiliated with RMCN. Please respond as thoroughly as possible.
The survey is anonymous. The only data collected upon completion of the form are your answers and the time you completed the survey. The first question of the survey pertains to whether you have completed the Consent Form. You cannot proceed until the Consent Form is completed. The survey can be found here.
One-Day Presentations
These gatherings will present the results of the research and unpack strategies for addressing ideologically driven disunity. The locations were chosen as they function as primary geographic hubs for RMCN. All project participants are required to attend, either in person or virtually. The presentations are open to anyone and may be of particular benefit to pastoral staff, church leadership (elders, deacons, trustees, etc), and key congregants.

Note: I typed these sermons as if I were preaching them. As preaching notes are very individual, they may be different that what you typically use. Take the information, add your own illustrations, and make them your own.
Follow-Up Survey
Please consider the effectiveness of the devotional, the presentation, the unity covenant, the sermon series, and the rest of the resources found on this page. If you need a refresher, the Presentation Handout contains the results of the Initial Survey, as well as conclusions and the strategy for addressing IDD. The Follow-Up Survey is designed to gauge how prepared you feel to address IDD, as well as the effectiveness of the various components.
The Follow-Up Survey can be found here.
Final Thesis Report
The thesis report has been defended and approved. I’m thankful for each participant and the time, energy, and effort each supplied. Their contribution brought something of value to our RMCN pastors and church leadeers.
