We're surveying church leaders about their biggest operational challenges. 3 minutes. Free report when it publishes. Your church's experience shapes what gets built.
Take the Survey — 3 Minutes →Most church research is either too theological to be operationally useful, or too focused on attendance trends to tell you anything about what's actually happening inside the organization. There's no independent annual report that tells church leaders how they compare to peers on the operational metrics that actually matter.
The State of the Church Report is that resource. Built from survey data from real church leaders — not consultants, not vendors, not denominational studies with an agenda. Just data from the field.
It publishes free for everyone. No paywall. Cited, shareable, and useful.
Survey responses from actual church leaders — anonymized and aggregated.
No paywall. No email gate on the report itself. Just useful research.
Survey respondents receive the report before it's publicly released.
No sales follow-up. Your answers are confidential and reported in aggregate. You can leave your contact info if you want the report early — but you don't have to.
