survey. By making this comparison,
you can identify your congregation's strengths and find ways
to build on those strengths. Learn more about the U.S. Congregational
Life Survey and how your congregation can take part on the U.S.
Congregations Web site. After taking the survey, your
congregation will receive two customized color reports,
videos and leader guides to help you understand and use each
report, and two books (A
Field Guide to U.S. Congregations and Beyond
the Ordinary: Ten Strengths of U.S. Congregations) that
describe the results of the national random sample survey
and will help you see your congregation in the context of
all congregations across the U.S.
The second option is to add an insert sheet to the basic four-page
U.S. Congregational Life Survey. The optional page provides
an opportunity for worshipers to: indicate interest in 24
typical study topics, express their satisfaction with 20 church
activities or programs that you can specify, and describe
their priorities for the pastor. If you would like to review
a copy of the insert sheet, please contact us and request
a copy. Note that use of this additional page in the U.S.
Congregational Life Survey increases the cost above that described
on the U.S. Congregations Web site by $1 per survey ordered.
In either case, Research Services will provide all the materials you need to give the survey in your congregation, analyze your worshipers' answers, and provide a comprehensive summary.
