The National Church Life Survey has been equipping churches through changing times since 1991 and we're pleased to continue this year. 

The Survey is running from November 2021 until the end of March 2022. The survey period has been extended due to COVID-19. Churches can still sign up and order their surveys.

As churches respond to social changes, it is more important than ever to have an informed approach to modern day ministry. For over 30 years, the National Church Life Survey has tracked the LIFE of the Australian Church, the lives and hopes of people who attend churches all around the country. 

Trusted by thousands of churches in over 20 denominations to nurture church health and vitality, build effective leadership and strengthen connections with local communities. View endorsements.
